Trump’s Tariff Policy (100 words):

Former President Donald Trump’s tariff policy aimed to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and bring manufacturing jobs back to America. He imposed tariffs on steel, aluminum, and hundreds of billions worth of Chinese goods. The goal was to pressure countries like China to change trade practices deemed unfair by the U.S. While the tariffs raised revenue and gave leverage in trade negotiations, they also triggered retaliatory tariffs, increased costs for American businesses and consumers, and disrupted global supply chains. Critics argue the long-term economic benefit was minimal, while supporters see it as a bold move to protect U.S. industries.
