    Barrier on imports

    Explanation:

    Cutting down the prices of the Thai shoes by Thailand will render an increased sale of the shoes in the market of United States. By reducing the prices of the shoes, Thailand has made the purchase of its shoes much more affordable for its consumers, this would lead to an increased demand of their shoes. This would not only increase the imports of United States but will also increase the competition for local shoes industries.
