Trump’s Tariffs and Their Impact

Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies significantly shaped global trade. His administration imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, citing unfair trade practices, and levied duties on steel, aluminum, and other imports. Supporters argued these measures protected American jobs and industries, while critics warned of higher consumer prices and strained international relations. China retaliated with its own tariffs, sparking a trade war that disrupted markets. Although some tariffs remained under the Biden administration, the debate over their long-term effectiveness continues. As Trump eyes a potential return to office, questions about his future trade policies remain a key economic issue.
