#TrumpTariffs
The term #TrumpTariffs refers to the trade tariffs imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump during his administration (2017–2021), especially targeting China, the European Union, Mexico, and Canada. These tariffs aimed to protect American industries, reduce trade deficits, and push foreign countries to negotiate fairer trade terms.
One of the most significant impacts was the U.S.-China trade war, where both nations imposed billions in tariffs on each other’s goods. While some industries gained short-term protection, others—like agriculture—faced retaliation. The tariffs sparked global debate over protectionism vs. free trade, with lasting effects on global supply chains and economic diplomacy.
