#TrumpTariffs The tariff policy of former President Donald Trump has sparked much controversy both domestically and internationally. He imposed high tariffs on goods from China and several other countries to protect domestic manufacturing and reduce the trade deficit. However, this measure also increased the prices of goods for American consumers and created global trade tensions. Many analysts argue that Trump's tax policy is protectionist, which could cause long-term damage to the U.S. economy if not properly adjusted.
