**Trump’s Tariffs: Economic Impact and Controversy**

Former President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports, particularly from China, were a key part of his "America First" trade policy. Imposed on steel, aluminum, and billions in Chinese goods, these tariffs aimed to protect U.S. industries and jobs. Supporters argue they boosted domestic manufacturing and forced trade concessions, like the Phase One deal with China.

Critics, however, say the tariffs raised costs for businesses and consumers, sparking trade wars and hurting farmers. Studies suggest they led to higher prices and economic uncertainty. While some industries benefited, the broader impact remains debated. If re-elected, Trump has vowed even tougher tariffs, potentially reshaping global trade again. The long-term effects of his trade policies continue to divide economists and policymakers.
