Answer 1

Answer: can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income

Explanation:

Imports are the goods that are purchased and brought from another country into one's home country. Restricting imports is a way by which the government helps to protect the industries at home.

It should also be noted that restricting imports will lead to reductions in the United States output and income as other people in other countries might stop purchasing ones products as well and this will affect the income of the United States.

Answer 2

Answer:

C.  can protect United States jobs in the protected industry but will also lead to reductions in U.S. output and income.

Explanation:

Import restriction is a measure taken by some countries that want trade protectionism. They do this to limit importation of goods and services from foreign countries. To achieve this they may impose tariffs, quotas, develop policies, or give subsidies to the local producers, all in a bid to limit importation. In the United States, while restricting imports can protect jobs in the protected industries, it would also result to trade wars with other nations.

This is a situation where other countries reciprocate the import restriction. This would eventually result in a reduced Gross domestic product for the country and limited choices for the consumers who will want to settle with cheaper goods. A case is the situation between Japan and the United States
