#TrumpTariffs

Former President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on imports from countries such as China, Mexico, and the European Union as part of the "America First" policy, aiming to reduce the trade deficit and protect domestic industries. These tariffs began in 2018 and initially targeted aluminum and steel, then expanded to include hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods, igniting a trade war between the world's two largest economies.

Trump supporters argued that these tariffs forced some countries to renegotiate trade agreements in favor of the United States and contributed to the strengthening of certain industrial sectors. In contrast, economists warned that these policies raised prices for American consumers and harmed farmers and exporters, negatively impacting global markets. The effects of these tariffs continue to this day.
