INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Is it true that tariffs lead to retaliatory tariffs from trading partners?
Unclear. Several sources describe specific episodes in which trading partners responded to US tariffs with retaliatory tariffs, and one game-theory discussion says tariff-raising typically invites retaliation. None offers a systematic test of the general claim that tariffs lead to retaliation; the support is partial and episodic.
