#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump, former U.S. President, implemented tariffs as part of his "America First" policy to protect domestic industries. His administration imposed tariffs on steel, aluminum, and various Chinese goods, aiming to reduce trade deficits and bring manufacturing back to the U.S. These measures led to trade tensions, especially with China, sparking a trade war that affected global markets. Supporters argued tariffs defended American jobs, while critics claimed they increased costs for businesses and consumers. Trump's tariff strategy was a significant shift from traditional free-trade policies and remains a debated aspect of his economic legacy and approach to global trade.
