Tariffs on canola seen supercharging Canadian farmers' shift to spring wheat
- Tariffs are fees levied on foreign products entering the US market, utilized by various administrations to shape trade policies and support domestic businesses.
- US presidents have employed tariffs for purposes including revenue generation, protectionism, and sanctions, with notable examples from Nixon in 1970s to Trump in 2018.
- Congress holds constitutional authority over tariffs but presidents use emergency powers like IEEPA to impose tariffs during national emergencies, blurring separation of powers.
- For example, Obama's 2009 tariff on Chinese tires raised US tire prices by 21.7 percent, less than the tariff rates imposed, illustrating tariffs’ direct impact on consumers.
- Tariffs create concentrated gains for protected industries but impose widespread costs on consumers, leading to debates on economic efficiency and policy transparency.
