#TariffsPause That’s a bold headline and classic Trump rhetoric—he’s clearly doubling down on his “America First” trade agenda. His claim that China was making $900 billion annually from the U.S. is definitely eye-catching, though that number seems exaggerated, considering the U.S. trade deficit with China peaked around $400 billion. Still, it reflects how he frames the issue in economic nationalist terms.

The renewed focus on tariffs and trade could become a central campaign theme again. It’s a divisive topic: supporters view it as tough love for protecting domestic industries, while critics say it hurt American consumers and businesses with higher prices and retaliatory tariffs.

Are you following this because of the political angle, the economics, or just curious about how it might affect things moving forward?
