Former President Donald Trump's tariff policies focused on reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting American industries, especially against China. He imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods, triggering a trade war. Supporters argued the tariffs helped revive domestic manufacturing and pressured China on unfair trade practices. Critics claimed they increased costs for U.S. businesses and consumers and disrupted global supply chains. Tariffs were also applied to steel, aluminum, and goods from the EU, Canada, and Mexico. Trump's trade stance reshaped U.S. economic diplomacy, sparking debate over its long-term effectiveness and global impact.
