#TrumpTariffs

Trump Tariffs refer to the trade policies implemented by former U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at addressing trade imbalances and protecting American industries. Introduced during his tenure from 2017 to 2021, these tariffs targeted several countries, particularly China, in an effort to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and protect domestic jobs. The tariffs were mainly imposed on steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods, which led to a trade war between the U.S. and China. While Trump argued that tariffs would encourage companies to bring jobs back to the U.S. and support American manufacturing, critics contended that they led to higher prices for consumers and harmed businesses reliant on imported materials. The long-term economic effects remain a subject of debate.
