Tariffs
It is the importing country that imposes them;
the exporting country cannot simply avoid paying them. However, it can impose
counter-tariffs: in the case, though, where the balance of payments is unequal,
as between Europe and the USA, it is clear that the higher the tariffs, the more
advantageous they are for the USA.
This is in general terms; specific cases must then be evaluated concretely.
In this as well, the tendency of the USA has existed for a long time.
