#TrumpTariffs During his presidency, Donald Trump implemented a series of tariffs aimed at protecting American industries, particularly steel, aluminum, and manufacturing. These tariffs, especially on Chinese goods, were part of a broader strategy to reduce the trade deficit and pressure China on intellectual property issues. While they aimed to revive domestic production and protect U.S. jobs, they also led to retaliatory tariffs, disrupted global supply chains, and increased costs for American businesses and consumers. Critics argued the tariffs hurt farmers and manufacturers, while supporters claimed they challenged unfair trade practices. The long-term impact of these tariffs remains a topic of debate.
