#TrumpTariffs

Former President Donald Trump's tariffs, especially on Chinese goods, were a cornerstone of his "America First" trade policy. Aimed at reducing the trade deficit and reviving U.S. manufacturing, the tariffs sparked a trade war that led to higher costs for some U.S. businesses and consumers. Supporters say they pressured China and protected American jobs; critics argue they hurt farmers, disrupted global supply chains, and had limited success in reshaping trade relations. The debate over their long-term impact continues to shape U.S. trade policy today.
