#TrumpTariffs
refer to the series of import taxes implemented by former President Donald Trump, primarily targeting China but also affecting allies like the EU, Canada, and Mexico. Aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting American industries, the tariffs sparked global trade tensions and retaliatory measures. Critics argued they hurt U.S. consumers and farmers through higher costs, while supporters claimed they pressured unfair trade practices. The policy marked a shift toward economic nationalism, challenging decades of free trade orthodoxy. Though some tariffs remain, their long-term impact on global trade and domestic manufacturing continues to be widely debated.
