#TrumpTariffs

The Trump administration's tariffs, often called "Trumptariffs," aimed to protect American industries from unfair trade practices, particularly from China. By imposing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and a range of Chinese goods, Trump hoped to revive U.S. manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit. Supporters argue these tariffs pressured foreign companies to reconsider their supply chains and gave American businesses a competitive edge. The tariffs were also seen as a tool to force China to negotiate fairer trade deals. Although controversial, many believed they were necessary to address long-standing trade imbalances and protect national economic security.
