#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump's administration implemented tariffs as a key part of his "America First" trade policy. These tariffs targeted countries like China, Canada, and members of the European Union, aiming to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and protect American industries, especially steel and aluminum. The most notable were tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods, which sparked a trade war. While the tariffs aimed to boost U.S. manufacturing, critics argue they raised costs for consumers and strained global trade relationships. Supporters claim they were necessary to confront unfair trade practices and rebuild domestic industry strength.
