#TrumpTariffs Trump’s tariffs, first imposed in 2018, aimed to protect American industries by taxing imports—particularly from China. Supporters argue they helped revitalize U.S. manufacturing and pressured trade partners into fairer deals. Critics, however, point to rising consumer costs, disrupted supply chains, and retaliatory tariffs that hurt American farmers and exporters. While some industries saw short-term gains, many economists warn the tariffs may have weakened long-term global competitiveness. As the debate continues, the legacy of Trump’s tariff policies remains a central issue in discussions about trade, protectionism, and the future of American economic policy. #TrumpTariffs #TradeWar #Economy
