#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump has intensified his tariff policy, raising taxes on steel and aluminum imports to 50% and applying a general 10%, with peaks of up to 145% for China. His goal: to protect the U.S. industry, reduce the trade deficit, and pressure countries like Mexico and Canada on migration and drugs. However, the tariffs have unleashed a trade war, with retaliations from China (125%) and tensions with the EU. Economists warn that these taxes make products more expensive for American consumers and could slow economic growth, although the CBO projects raising $2.8 trillion in a decade. Courts have questioned the legality of using emergency powers to impose them, but appeals keep the tariffs in place. Global companies report losses of $34 billion, and uncertainty paralyzes investments. While Trump insists that the tariffs will strengthen the U.S., critics point out that protectionism could isolate it in global trade. Bold strategy or economic risk? The battle continues in courts and markets.
