#TrumpTariffs Trump's tariffs were a series of trade policies imposed during his presidency, mainly targeting China, the European Union, and other countries. These tariffs aimed to protect American industries by increasing import costs on steel, aluminum, and various goods. While supporters argued they helped U.S. manufacturing and reduced trade deficits, critics claimed they led to higher consumer prices and economic strain. The U.S.-China trade war escalated as both nations imposed retaliatory tariffs. Some American farmers and businesses suffered due to increased costs and lost exports. Biden later adjusted some tariffs but maintained others. The long-term effects remain debated among economists.
