#TrumpTariffs #TrumpTariffs The policy of #TrumpTariffs (tariffs imposed during the administration of Donald Trump) marked a protectionist turn in the U.S. economy, especially towards China. Justified as a strategy to reduce the trade deficit and protect domestic industry, these tariffs generated global trade tensions. While they boosted certain local industries in the short term, they also increased input costs for manufacturers and consumers in the U.S., provoking retaliatory tariffs that affected farmers and exporters. Additionally, confidence in the multilateral trade system weakened. In the long term, the effects were mixed: the relocation of supply chains out of China accelerated, but without achieving a substantial improvement in the trade deficit. Trump's tariff policy redefined the role of trade in U.S. foreign policy, opening a debate on the balance between economic security and free trade in a context of geostrategic competition.
