**#TrumpTariffs – A Double-Edged Sword for the U.S. Economy**

The #TrumpTariffs, imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency, were a cornerstone of his "America First" trade policy. Designed to protect domestic industries, these tariffs targeted imports from China, the EU, and other trading partners, particularly on steel, aluminum, and various consumer goods. Supporters argue that the tariffs revived struggling U.S. manufacturing sectors and forced China to address unfair trade practices. However, critics highlight the downsides—higher costs for businesses, retaliatory tariffs on American exports, and increased prices for consumers. While the tariffs reshaped trade negotiations, their long-term economic impact remains debated. Were they a necessary defense or a costly trade war? The discussion continues.
