#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump's view on tariffs is not based solely on technical percentages but rather on a broader political and economic strategy focused on economic protectionism and the slogan 'America First'. His logic behind imposing tariffs can be summarized as follows:

1. Protecting the U.S. industry: Trump saw that many key industries (such as steel, aluminum, or manufacturing in general) were being affected by cheap imports from countries like China or Mexico. By imposing tariffs, he aimed to make those foreign products more expensive so that companies and consumers would buy products made in the U.S.

2. Reducing the trade deficit: Trump constantly criticized that the U.S. bought much more than it sold to countries like China. Tariffs were a way to pressure those countries to buy more American products or renegotiate trade agreements.

3. Geopolitical pressure: In many cases, tariffs were used as a negotiation tool or even political punishment, for example against China amid the trade war, or threatening Mexico with tariffs if it did not control migration.

4. Revitalizing the national economy: He believed that by encouraging the consumption of local products, jobs would be created, and the internal economy would be strengthened.

In summary, his view was not technical but ideological and strategic, with a strong emphasis on economic sovereignty, self-sufficiency, and direct confrontation with countries he perceived as unfair or disloyal in trade.

P.S.: A web-related fact, rather something related to Trump's vision in doing what he does, well, I suppose.
