#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump, during his presidency, imposed tariffs on several countries, mainly targeting China. His goal was to protect American industries and reduce the trade deficit. These tariffs increased the cost of imported goods like steel, aluminum, and electronics. While some U.S. manufacturers benefited, others faced higher costs for raw materials. Global trade tensions rose, and some countries retaliated with their own tariffs. Supporters saw it as a bold move to protect U.S. jobs, while critics argued it disrupted supply chains and hurt consumers. Trump's tariff policy sparked a global debate on protectionism versus free trade. The effects are still unfolding.
