#TrumpTariffs During Donald Trump's presidency, the United States implemented significant trade tariffs, particularly against China, with the aim of reducing the trade deficit and protecting American industry. The "Trump Tariffs" included surcharges on products such as steel, aluminum, and thousands of Chinese goods. These measures generated international tensions and triggered a trade war, affecting global markets. Supporters argue that they helped revitalize industrial sectors, while critics highlight the increase in prices for consumers and businesses. The tariffs marked a drastic change in U.S. trade policy, prioritizing protectionism over free trade. The economic and political impact is still debated.
