#TrumpTariffs Trump tariffs were a series of import taxes imposed during Donald Trump's presidency, primarily targeting China, the European Union, and other major trade partners. Introduced to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and revive domestic manufacturing, the tariffs affected goods like steel, aluminum, electronics, and agricultural products. While intended to protect American industries and jobs, they led to retaliatory tariffs, increasing costs for U.S. businesses and consumers. The tariffs sparked global trade tensions and disrupted supply chains. Though some sectors benefited, critics argued the economic damage outweighed the gains. The long-term impact of Trump’s tariffs remains debated among economists and policymakers.
