Trump's tariffs, implemented during his presidency, generated intense debate. Supporters argued that they protected American industries and reduced the trade deficit. However, critics pointed out that they increased costs for consumers, harmed businesses that depended on imports, and provoked retaliation from other countries, affecting American exports. The overall economic impact of the tariffs remains a subject of debate, with studies showing mixed results. Some argue that the tariffs had a net negative effect on the American economy, while others maintain that they had a limited or even positive impact on certain sectors.
