#TrumpTariffs

Former U.S. President Donald Trump implemented a series of tariffs during his time in office, primarily targeting China. These tariffs were part of his "America First" policy, aimed at protecting U.S. industries and reducing trade deficits. Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods, citing unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft. In response, China retaliated with tariffs on U.S. exports, sparking a trade war. While the tariffs aimed to boost American manufacturing, critics argue they increased costs for U.S. businesses and consumers. Trump's tariff policy remains a key topic in U.S. economic and political debates.
