#TrumpTariffs **Trump’s Tariffs: Economic Strategy or Trade War?**

Former President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies aimed to protect U.S. industries by imposing heavy duties on imports, particularly from China. His administration levied tariffs on steel, aluminum, and billions worth of Chinese goods, arguing they would revive manufacturing and reduce trade deficits.

While supporters credit the tariffs with boosting domestic production, critics warn they raised consumer prices and hurt farmers and exporters targeted by retaliatory measures. Economists remain divided on their long-term impact, with some seeing them as necessary for fair trade and others as harmful to global commerce.

If re-elected, Trump has vowed even tougher tariffs, potentially reshaping trade dynamics again.
