#TrumpTariffs Trump's tariffs, implemented during his presidency, generated controversy and economic repercussions. These tariffs, imposed on imports of steel, aluminum, and Chinese products, aimed to protect American industries and reduce the trade deficit. However, they provoked retaliation from other countries, unleashing a trade war.
