**#TrumpTariffs**

The term "Trump Tariffs" refers to a series of trade tariffs introduced during Donald Trump's presidency, primarily aimed at reducing the U.S. trade deficit and protecting domestic industries. A major focus was on China, with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of Chinese goods targeted, sparking a prolonged U.S.–China trade war. The administration imposed tariffs on steel, aluminum, and other imports from allies and rivals alike, arguing that these measures would revive American manufacturing and reduce unfair trade practices. Critics argued the tariffs raised costs for U.S. businesses and consumers, disrupted global supply chains, and strained relationships with key trading partners. Farmers and industrial sectors were among those most affected, prompting government subsidies in response. Supporters claimed the tariffs forced countries to renegotiate trade deals and prioritize fairer practices. The long-term impact of Trump’s tariff policy continues to influence global trade dynamics and U.S. economic strategy even after his presidency.
