Trade barriers are government-induced restrictions on international trade. Economists generally agree that trade barriers are detrimental and decrease overall economic efficiency; this can be explained by the theory of comparative advantage

A trade barrier is something that stops countries from freely trading with each other (this can be as a result of conflict)

For example, In China and India, through wars, a gradual trade barrier has been created due to the fact that the countries are going through warfare tension
