Trump and Tariffs: Strategy or Risk?

Donald Trump believes that imposing tariffs on imports strengthens the U.S. economy, protects local industries, and reduces the trade deficit. For him, these measures force other countries to renegotiate agreements, encourage domestic production, and balance the trade deficit.

However, in practice, these tariffs increase costs for businesses and consumers, may lead to international retaliation, and could even slow down the American economy. In the short term, some industries may benefit, but in the long term, the risks of recession and inflation are high.

If negative impacts arise before the elections, Trump may face resistance. But if he convinces his voters that it is a "necessary sacrifice," he may maintain support. The big question is: is the cost worth it?
