Effect of a Tariff

251 views

I’m reading for a quiz and I just ran into this point by an author:
“For a large country that can affect world price through trading, a tariff lowers the price of imports and generates a terms of trade benefit.”
How is this possible? How does it lower the price of imports?

If foreign products have to pay a fee when imported, they have to reduce their price to be able to compete with the domestic products.
