#TrumpTariffs
Series of trade tariffs implemented during Donald Trump's presidency, aimed primarily at reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting American industries. These tariffs targeted imports from countries like China, the European Union, Canada, and Mexico, with a major focus on steel, aluminum, and a wide range of Chinese goods. The policy sparked a trade war, particularly with China, leading to retaliatory tariffs and global market uncertainty. Supporters argued it protected U.S. jobs and pressured trading partners to negotiate better deals. Critics claimed it increased costs for American consumers and businesses, and disrupted global supply chains.
