During Harding's presidency he ran high tariffs on foreign imports in an attempt to promote American businesses and move from a war economy to a peacetime economy. These high tariffs however made it hard for Britain and France to pay off its war debt to the U.S because no one was buying their goods.
Tariffs/Dawes plan.
