#TrumpTariffs

Trump tariffs refer to the trade policies enacted by former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily between 2018 and 2020, that imposed taxes on imported goods, especially from China. Aimed at reducing the trade deficit and protecting American industries, these tariffs targeted steel, aluminum, and over $350 billion worth of Chinese goods. China retaliated with its own tariffs, sparking a trade war. Supporters argued the measures helped revive U.S. manufacturing, while critics claimed they raised costs for businesses and consumers. The tariffs disrupted global supply chains and led to economic uncertainty. Many remained in place even after Trump left office.
