US had tariffs on foreign made sneakers, when the Nike scandal hit.
EU has tariffs on foreign made clothes - yet multiple examples of child labor were discovered in multiple clothes retailer supply chains.
This argument has been proven to be false - empirically.
- teddyh 4y agoIf it was still economical to produce foreign products for the domestic market, then the tariff were not high enough to prevent it. The mere existence of tariffs which proved too low does not disprove the entire concept.

Or perhaps a government of the people and not of profit would outright ban merchants such as Nike and others that source slave labor.
