#TrumpTariffs
Trump tariffs refer to the trade policies implemented by former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily between 2018 and 2020, aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting domestic industries. These tariffs imposed additional taxes on imported goods, especially from China, including steel, aluminum, electronics, and agricultural products. The goal was to pressure trading partners to negotiate fairer trade deals and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing. While the tariffs aimed to boost American jobs and production, they also sparked trade wars, led to retaliatory tariffs, and increased costs for U.S. businesses and consumers. Critics argued the tariffs disrupted global supply chains, while supporters viewed them as a bold stance to protect U.S. interests. The long-term impact remains a topic of debate.
