#TrumpTariffs Impact and Controversy
During his presidency, Donald Trump implemented tariffs on imports from several countries aiming to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits. While supporters claimed these tariffs helped boost domestic manufacturing, critics argue they raised costs for consumers and sparked trade tensions globally. The tariffs notably affected steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods, leading to retaliatory measures from trading partners.
📉 Economic effects included short-term job gains in some sectors but higher prices in others. The debate on tariffs continues as policymakers weigh protectionism against free trade.
