#TrumpTariffs

TrumpTariffs refer to the trade tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily targeting China, starting in 2018. These tariffs were part of a broader "America First" policy aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit and reviving domestic manufacturing. Key sectors affected included steel, aluminum, and electronics. In retaliation, China imposed its own tariffs on U.S. goods, escalating tensions into a trade war. While supporters claimed the tariffs protected American jobs, critics argued they raised costs for businesses and consumers. The long-term effects remain debated, with some tariffs still in place under the Biden administration amid ongoing negotiations.
