#TrumpTariffs The tariffs imposed by Donald Trump during his presidency marked a protectionist shift in the trade policy of the United States. Mainly aimed at China, these tariffs sought to reduce the trade deficit and protect domestic industry. Tariffs were applied to products such as steel, aluminum, and technological goods. Although they incentivized some domestic production, they also increased the cost of imports, affecting American consumers and businesses. The trade war with China generated global tensions and uncertainty in the markets. Critics argue that the results were mixed, while supporters maintain that a change in international trade relations was necessary to balance economic power.
