#TrumpTariffs

President Donald Trump's tariffs, imposed during his administration (2017–2021), were a key part of his "America First" trade policy. Targeting countries like China, the EU, and Canada, these tariffs aimed to protect U.S. industries, reduce trade deficits, and bring manufacturing jobs back to America. Major tariffs included a 25% levy on steel and 10% on aluminum imports, along with additional duties on $360 billion worth of Chinese goods, sparking a trade war. While some industries benefited, critics argued that tariffs raised consumer prices, hurt farmers, and disrupted global supply chains. The long-term economic impact remains debated among experts.
