I did not have any specific countries in mind; I’m just pretty sure that there are such countries. I’d have to look it up to get any references.

Nobody knows why they are doing it, since nobody can read their minds. But I was not talking about them, I was addressing your implied argument that all tariffs are bad and abolishing them will lead to global prosperity. I would think that abolishing tariffs would at least give other countries huge incentives to exploit their own populations (including children) in order to get money from countries where such exploitation is illegal.

I think when you get into the realm of extremes, you are no longer debating another human but a strawperson in your mind.
