**Trump’s Tariffs: Impact and Controversy**
Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports, particularly from China, aimed to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits. Imposing duties on steel, aluminum, and billions worth of Chinese goods, Trump argued these measures would boost domestic manufacturing. However, critics warned of higher consumer prices and trade wars. While some sectors saw short-term benefits, many businesses faced increased costs, and retaliatory tariffs hurt U.S. farmers. Economists remain divided on their long-term impact. Trump’s aggressive trade policies reshaped global trade dynamics, but their effectiveness in reviving American industry continues to spark debate. The legacy of his tariffs influences current trade discussions.
