#TrumpTariffs policies dramatically transformed U.S. trade relations. In 2018, his administration imposed tariffs of up to 25% on steel, aluminum, and tech imports—primarily targeting China—to boost domestic manufacturing and reduce trade deficits. While the move narrowed the U.S.-China trade gap, it raised consumer prices and sparked global supply chain disruptions. Now, as Trump campaigns for the 2024 election, he vows to expand these tariffs, including a proposed 60% levy on Chinese goods and universal 10% tariffs. Critics warn this could reignite trade wars and inflation, while supporters argue it protects American industries. The policy remains a contentious pillar of Trump's "America First" agenda.
