I wish we would call them "taxes on imports" instead to reflect what is actually happening.

Merriam-Webster: "The meaning of TARIFF is a schedule of duties imposed by a government on imported or in some countries exported goods."

Apparently the dictionary is "woke."

Wikipedia: "A tariff, or import tax, is a duty imposed by a national government, customs territory, or supranational union on imports of goods and is paid by the importer."

Oxford Economics: "Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on goods and services imported from other countries."
