Page 307 of your textbook describes predatory dumping as “a situation in which a Foreign firm sells at a price below its average costs with the intention of causing Home firms to suffer losses and, eventually, to leave the market because of bankruptcy.” The textbook, on page 302, also states that World Trade Organization (WTO) rules allow countries to “apply a tariff any time a foreign firm dumps its product on a local market.” Why would a home country punish a foreign country for subsidizing imports? Do you agree with this policy? Explain. 200 word
