The "the" in "point of the tariffs" is enough to say that a specific collection of tariffs is being referred to, not the general concept of tariffs.
Given the Trump tariffs are the subject of the article this discussion is attached to and those tariffs are a major current event, they're the obvious default expansion of "the tariffs."

- sjsdaiuasgdia 2y agoYes, I know. Decaf can be quite disappointing at first. But you seem a little high strung, and the reduction in caffeine intake might be good for you.
