#TrumpTariffs

TrumpTariffs refer to trade tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily during 2018–2020. These tariffs targeted imports from countries like China, the European Union, Mexico, and Canada, with a major focus on reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting American industries. The most notable were tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to a U.S.–China trade war. Trump argued the tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing and counter unfair trade practices. Critics, however, pointed out that they raised costs for American businesses and consumers, disrupted global supply chains, and sparked retaliatory tariffs. The long-term impact remains debated, though the tariffs marked a significant shift in U.S. trade policy toward protectionism.
