#TrumpTariffs

The #TrumpTariffs refer to trade policies imposed during Donald Trump's presidency, notably targeting China, steel, and aluminum imports. Advocated as a means to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits, these tariffs sparked global trade tensions. Supporters claimed they revived U.S. manufacturing and challenged unfair practices, especially intellectual property theft by China. Critics argued they increased costs for consumers and businesses, disrupted supply chains, and led to retaliatory tariffs harming U.S. farmers. While they reshaped trade discourse, economists remain divided on long-term impacts. The tariffs marked a significant shift toward economic nationalism and protectionism in modern U.S. trade policy.
