#TrumpTariffs refers to the tariff policy of former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily implemented in 2018. The goal was to protect the domestic manufacturing sector and exert pressure on China regarding unfair trade. Tariffs were imposed on hundreds of billions of USD of imported goods, especially steel, aluminum, and technology products. This policy has been controversial: some industries were protected, but it also increased costs for American businesses and consumers. To date, many tariff levels remain in effect, affecting the global supply chain.
