#TrumpTariffs President Trump's tariffs were designed to protect American jobs and industries from unfair trade practices. By imposing tariffs on countries like China, he aimed to level the playing field and bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Critics argue they raised costs for consumers, but supporters believe they strengthened national security and reduced dependency on foreign goods. The policy pressured trading partners to renegotiate deals, leading to agreements like the USMCA. While the long-term economic impact is debated, Trump's tariffs signaled a shift toward prioritizing American workers and industries in global trade. Future policies may refine this approach for balance.
