Is cutting off trade a proper approach to take in order to create jobs domestically?
I'm not really sure. I know that some people believe in protectionist policies to protect domestic industries, but I also know that international trade is important for the economy.
Yes, that's true. International trade can bring in new technologies and increase competition, leading to higher productivity and growth. On the other hand, protectionist policies could lead to higher prices for consumers and reduce the competitiveness of domestic industries in the long run.
