why does the government issue economic protections?
A; to build the american system
B: to create government subsidies
C; to protect trade partners
D: to protect american industries
The correct answer is D: to protect American industries.
The government issues economic protections to help safeguard and support domestic industries from potential threats or competition from foreign markets. These protections can include tariffs, quotas, embargoes, subsidies, and other measures. The intent is to shield domestic industries from unfair practices such as dumping (selling products below cost to gain market share), intellectual property theft, or other trade practices that may harm domestic industries. By protecting American industries, the government aims to promote economic growth, job creation, and maintain a strong and competitive industrial base.
