Tariffs are taxes or duties imposed by a government on
imported goods. They are one of the oldest and most common
instruments of trade policy and are used to control the flow
of foreign goods into a country, protect domestic industries,
and generate revenue for the government. Tariffs can be
specific (a fixed fee per unit of the imported good) or ad
valorem (a percentage of the value of the imported
good).
How Tariffs Work
When a country imposes tariffs, it sets a tax on
imported goods. Importers must pay these taxes when the goods
enter the country, which typically increases the cost of the
imported goods. This cost increase can make imported goods
more expensive for consumers, which can lead to several
potential outcomes:
Reduced Imports: Higher costs
for imported goods can lead to a decrease in the
quantity of goods imported.
Increased Domestic Production:
By making imported goods more expensive, tariffs can
make domestically produced goods more competitive,
potentially boosting local industries.
Higher Consumer Prices: The
increased costs of imported goods can be passed on to
consumers, leading to higher prices for goods and
services.
Consequences of Tariffs
The imposition of tariffs can have a wide range of
consequences, both positive and negative:
Economic Consequences
Consumer Impact: Consumers
often bear the brunt of tariffs through higher prices
for goods and services. This can reduce consumer
purchasing power and overall demand for certain
products.
Business Impact: For businesses
that rely on imported raw materials or components,
tariffs can increase production costs, which may
result in higher prices for end products or reduced
profit margins.
Trade Relations: Tariffs can
strain trade relations between countries, potentially
leading to trade wars where countries retaliate by
imposing their own tariffs.
Government Revenue: Tariffs can
provide a source of revenue for governments, which can
be used to fund public services or reduce the budget
deficits.
Social and Political Consequences
Protectionism: Tariffs are
often used as a tool for protectionism, shielding
domestic industries from foreign competition. While
this can preserve local jobs and industries, it can
also stifle innovation and efficiency.
International Relations:
Tariffs can lead to tensions and conflicts between
trading partners, affecting diplomatic relations and
international cooperation.
Inequality: Tariffs can
disproportionately affect low-income consumers, who
maybe more sensitive to price increases for essential
goods.
Why Governments Participate in Tariffs
Governments impose tariffs for several reasons:
Protecting Domestic Industries:
By making imported goods more expensive, tariffs can
help protect domestic industries from foreign
competition, preserving local jobs and
businesses.
Generating Revenue: Tariffs can
be a significant source of revenue for governments,
especially in countries with limited tax collection
capabilities.
Trade Policy: Governments use
tariffs as part of their trade policy to negotiate
better trade terms with other countries or to
retaliate against unfair trade practices.
National Security: In some
cases, tariffs are imposed to protect industries that
are considered vital to national security, such as
defense and critical infrastructure.
Pros and Cons of Tariffs
Pros
Domestic Industry Protection:
Tariffs can provide a competitive advantage to
domestic industries, helping them grow and maintain
employment.
Government Revenue: Tariffs can
generate significant revenue for governments, which
can be used to fund public services.
Trade Leverage: Tariffs can be
used as leverage in trade negotiations, helping
governments secure better trade deals.
Cons
Higher Consumer Prices: Tariffs
often result in higher prices for consumers, reducing
their purchasing power and overall demand.
Economic Inefficiency: By
shielding domestic industries from competition,
tariffs can lead to inefficiencies and a lack of
innovation.
Trade Wars: Tariffs can provoke
retaliatory measures from other countries, leading to
trade wars that can harm global trade and economic
growth.
Impact on Low-Income Consumers:
Tariffs can disproportionately affect low-income
consumers, who may struggle with higher prices for
essential goods.

United Nations Video: Cyprus, Palestine, Yemen & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (2 July 2025) | United Nations
Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:
Cyprus
Occupied Palestinian Territory
Yemen
Haiti
South Sudan
CYPRUS
Following the informal meeting on Cyprus in a broader format that was held in Geneva on 17-18 March of this year, the Secretary-General will convene on 16 and 17 July, here at UN Headquarters, the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders, as well as representatives of the guarantor powers of Greece, Türkiye and the United Kingdom, for another informal meeting on Cyprus.
The meeting will provide an opportunity to continue the dialogue and exchange views on the progress made since March.
OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY
Turning to the increasingly dire situation in Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that overnight, Israeli authorities issued a new displacement order for two neighbourhoods in Khan Younis, following reported Palestinian rocket fire. Up to 80,000 people are estimated to be living in these neighourhoods. Approximately 85 per cent of Gaza’s territory is currently either under displacement orders or located within militarized zones – which is severely hampering people's access to essential humanitarian support and the ability of aid workers to reach those in need.
Our colleagues working on water, sanitation and hygiene also tell us that Al Satar – a key water reservoir – has become inaccessible as a result of the order. The facility serves as the main water distribution hub for Khan Younis and a critical supply point for water coming through the Israeli pipeline in the area.
Any damage to the reservoir could lead to a collapse of the city’s water distribution system, with grave humanitarian consequences.
OCHA warns that these displacement orders continue to strain vital services and push people into increasingly smaller swaths of Gaza’s territory. Since the breakdown of the ceasefire in March and as of yesterday, some 714,000 people have been forcibly displaced once more across Gaza, with nearly 29,000 displaced in just 24 hours between Sunday and Monday.
Many existing shelters are severely overcrowded, with poor hygiene conditions – posing severe risks for public health. Our partners working on health, water, sanitation and hygiene report that across Gaza, rates of acute watery diarrhea have reached 39 per cent among patients receiving health consultations.
The increase is being driven by insufficient clean drinking and domestic water reaching shelters, worsening the dire hygiene and sanitation conditions. The governorates of Gaza and Khan Younis have the worst levels of acute watery diarrhea, due to severe overcrowding in sites and shelters.
You will recall that no shelter assistance has entered Gaza in four months, despite the hundreds of thousands of newly displaced people. Our shelter partners say that 97 per cent of the sites surveyed reported displaced people sleeping in the open. OCHA reiterates that an unrestricted flow of supplies through multiple crossing points over a sustained period of time is critical to address people’s needs and prevent the already desperate situation from worsening.
Meanwhile, the depletion of fuel stocks continues to wreak havoc on aid operations, constraining the UN and our humanitarian partners’ ability to respond.
Yet again today, an attempt to deliver some of the remaining fuel stocks to the north was denied by Israeli authorities.
The denial follows a successful delivery yesterday of diesel from the World Health Organization’s remaining stock to Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City to prevent further shutdown of critical services. WHO says the facility is overwhelmed and severely under-resourced. Its beds are full, and patients are once again being treated on the floor.
Our partners working on emergency telecommunications stress that unless fuel stocks are replenished immediately, Gaza could face a complete communications blackout, severely hindering humanitarian access and coordination, and preventing affected communities from receiving critical information.
Critical water, sanitation, hygiene and healthcare facilities have already begun shutting down in some areas, including hospital equipment and services, water trucking, and water and sewage pumps. If the fuel crisis isn’t addressed soon, humanitarian responders could be left without the systems and tools necessary to operate safely, manage logistics and distribute humanitarian assistance. This would endanger aid workers and escalate an already dire humanitarian crisis.

United Nations Video: UN80 updates - Presser by Under-Secretary-General for Policy | United Nations
Press Conference by Guy Ryder, the Under-Secretary-General for Policy on the updates on UN80.
The Chair of the UN80 Task Force, Guy Ryder, today (1 Jul) said, the “really substantive” and “policy-focused” part of the UN 80 initiative, will be the mandate implementation review, which will look into nearly 4,000 mandate documents underpinning the UN Secretariat’s work.
Briefing correspondents in New York on updates on the UN80 Initiative, Ryder said, “we have a very heavy corpus, stock of mandates in the form of resolutions and decisions from previous years and decades, which it makes sense for us to subject to detailed scrutiny, not least because they result in a very heavy load of meetings, of reports being produced, make demands both of the Secretariat and of Member States, which merits looking at with a view to improving the way that we organize our work.”
The Under-Secretary-General for Policy said, “if you have a look at the, the organigram of the UN system, you do find quite a baroque architecture. There's a lot of entities. They've grown over the years in an accretional, in an incremental way. Structures are never easy to change once they're in place, but it does seem sensible to subject this architecture to detailed scrutiny.”
He said the UN 80 initiative “is the United Nations and the Secretary-General responding to the totality of our circumstances, political circumstances, financial circumstances certainly, but also, I think, circumstances in which the effectiveness of multilateralism is up for scrutiny.”
Ryder said, “the idea is to bring the United Nations out of this process, in these rather turbulent times, in better shape, stronger in a position to confront the challenges of today and tomorrow more effectively,” adding that in the end, “this will be the measure of the success of the initiative, able to have greater impact for the people, eventually.
He said, “there are some Member States, particularly those who I think invest and contribute substantially to the system, who are encouraging the Secretary-General to boldness and ambition. They want to see this process bring significant change and improvement in the system. But I think it's fair to say as well that there is another body of opinion amongst Members who urge a certain degree of caution.”
Ryder said, “we recognize that we have a difficult task of untangling the undergrowth of decisions and resolutions and mechanisms that we put in place to implement them,” and noted that “a similar review undertaken 20 years ago ran rather quickly into the sand. It did not produce the results that were hopeful and expected at that time.”
He said he hoped this time around, “we can avoid some of the pitfalls.”
The UN80 Chair said, “it's quite clear that we can reach the targets that have been set, but I think what is important in the process of review that the Secretary- General is now engaging in, is that it will not result in a 20 percent - can I use a phrase? - haircut across every department. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, the Secretary- General is reviewing the inputs. He will make his determinations on where he believes certain services, certain activities, need to be - the word I could use is protected or not subject to the full rigor of a 20 percent cuts. Those where a greater effort might be called for.”
He said, “what we're not trying to do is pick off one mandate, because it's expensive or in view of its resource implications. We are trying to have a more methodical, systemic review of mandates as a whole. The corpus of mandates, identify where duplications and redundancies may exist, where we can, approach implementation in a more rational, streamlined way and produce the types of proposals that we hope Member States will give favourable consideration to.”
The UN80 Task Force will present its proposals to the Secretary-General, who has already indicated the first areas where outcomes are expected. A working group on efficiencies in the UN Secretariat, led by Under-Secretary-General Catherine Pollard, delivered initial proposals at the end of June, and a report on the mandate implementation review will follow at the end of July.
This work under the first two workstreams will help inform broader thinking around structural changes and programme realignment across the UN system. Proposals under the third workstream will be put forward to Member States in the coming months and into next year, and eventually, Member States will decide how to act on the findings.

BBC News Video: Keir Starmer denies plans to sack Chancellor Rachel Reeves after she cries in Parliament | BBC News
The British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC that his finance minister, the Chancellor Rachel Reeves, will remain in her job for “a very long time”.
It came after Rachel Reeves cried as she sat beside the Sir Keir in Parliament, following the collapse of the UK government’s plans for billions of pounds of cuts to welfare spending, which she had said were essential in order to control public spending.
Reeves had advocated the proposals which included large cuts in support to disabled people. It was reported that she had taken a hard line up to the last moment, urging the prime minister not to given in to many angry MPs in their governing Labour Party who eventually forced a U-turn.
The prime minister declined to confirm to Parliament that Reeves would remain in her job until the next election. But later Sir Keir told the BBC that he worked "in lockstep" with Reeves and she was "doing an excellent job as Chancellor".
Following her appearance in Parliament, Reeves' spokesperson said she had been dealing with a "personal matter" while Sir Keir insisted her tears had "nothing to do with politics".
At the highly-charged Prime Minister’s Questions in Parliament, the opposition Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch laid into the government over its welfare U-turns. She said the Chancellor would now be forced to put up taxes to pay for the prime minister’s incompetence" and said Reeves "looks absolutely miserable. Labour MPs are going on the record saying that the chancellor is toast, and the reality is that she is a human shield for his incompetence."
Reeves, who has repeatedly promised not to raise taxes, now faces the prospect of a large “black hole” in the government’s finances and the possibility of another humiliating reversal in her autumn budget.

Ukraine has warned that an interruption of US weapons shipments might encourage Russia to continue the war.
The White House said that it had cut off some weapons deliveries to Ukraine - who have been at war with Russia for four years.
White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the decision was taken "to put America's interests first" following a Department of Defence review of US "military support and assistance to other countries”.
Russia welcomed news of the reduction in weapons shipments, with the Kremlin saying reducing the flow of weapons to Kyiv will help end the conflict faster.

Serbian police have begun removing street blockades in Belgrade after crowds used metal fences and garbage containers to barricade roads on Sunday evening.
Their anger was fuelled by the arrest of anti-government protesters who clashed with police at a massive rally over the weekend.
Footage shared online appears to show police cars driving at high speed through a blockade on one street in the capital, causing bystanders to flee in panic.
Demonstrations, mainly led by university students, have persisted for eight months.
They were initially sparked by the fatal collapse of a train station roof in Novi Sad last November, which killed 16 people.

ODN Video: Serbian Protesters Clash With Police in HUGE Anti-Government Protest
This was what the streets of Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, looked like on Saturday, as protestors clashed with riot police as they dissented against the government.
Here's what we know so far:
On Saturday, around 140,000 protestors gathered as part of one of the largest of recent student-led demonstrations against the populist government.
The demonstrations centered around demanding an early election and an end to President Aleksander Vucic’s 12 year rule. His second term is currently due to end in 2027, when parliamentary elections have been scheduled.
Ahead of the protest, organizers issued an ultimatum for Vucic to announce elections, which he declined.
The key details:
Protestors clashed with police who fired tear gas and detained Several dozens of protestors. At least six officers were also reported injured.
This comes after 5 people were detained on Friday, who according to a statement from Serbia’s Higher Court, were accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Here's the context:
The protests on Saturday come after almost 8 months of persistent dissent led by university students.
Demonstrations started last December, following the deaths of 16 people on the 1st of November, in the collapse of Novi Sad railway station’s roof - which protestors blamed on corruption and negligence in state infrastructure projects.
The backlash to the incident forced the former Prime Minister, Milos Vucevic, to resign earlier this year, but President Aleksander Vucic still remains in power.
The reaction:
As the protest ended, organizers played a statement to the crowd, urging Serbians to "take freedom into your own hands".
They claimed that “The authorities had all the mechanisms and all the time to meet the demands and prevent an escalation” but “Instead, they chose violence and repression against the citizens. Any radicalisation of the situation is their responsibility.”
President Vucic accused the protestors of wanting to topple Serbia, and he hit back at them today in a News conference, claiming that ”Serbia won. You cannot destroy Serbia with violence as some wanted. Serbia has not and Serbia will never stop.” He also praised the Serbian police force for their professionalism.
