#TrumpTariffs Trump's Tariffs Back in the Spotlight. Since 2018, the Donald Trump administration has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, metals, cars, and electronics. The goal is to protect American manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit. However, the consequences have been mixed: prices for consumers have risen, and farmers and exporters, especially in agriculture, have been hurt. China responded with reciprocal measures. Despite promises, the recovery of jobs in manufacturing has been limited. Today, against the backdrop of global inflation and unstable markets, the issue of tariffs is being discussed again. Have they been effective? Economists are still debating. What do you think, were #TrumpTariffs justified?
