#TrumpTariffs During his presidency, Donald Trump implemented a series of tariffs as part of his “America First” economic policy. These tariffs primarily targeted China, the European Union, Canada, and Mexico, aiming to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and revive domestic manufacturing. One of the most significant actions was the imposition of tariffs on billions of dollars' worth of Chinese goods, which sparked a trade war. Supporters argued that the tariffs protected American industries and jobs, while critics claimed they led to higher consumer prices and strained international trade relations. The long-term effects remain a topic of debate among economists.
