  • Tariffs: taxes imposed on imported goods to make them more expensive than local products.
  • Trade blocs: groups of countries that agree to remove trade barriers between members.
    • Examples of trade blocs include the European Union (EU), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
    • Trade blocs make it easier to trade within the group but can complicate trade with countries outside.
