Trump's Tariffs: Between Economic Protection and Rising Trade Tensions

Trump's tariffs are among the most prominent economic policies that have sparked widespread controversy in recent years, due to their deep impacts on both the American and global economies.

What are Trump's tariffs?

Former President Donald Trump began imposing high tariffs on imports, especially from China, during his first term, aiming to reduce the trade deficit and stimulate domestic manufacturing. In 2025, Trump returned to implementing these policies, imposing a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, in addition to previous tariffs of 25% on Chinese imports valued at $370 billion.
