The #TrumpTariffs , introduced during Donald Trump’s presidency, aimed to protect American industries by imposing heavy duties on imports—especially from China. While the goal was to reduce trade deficits and encourage domestic production, the outcome was more complex. Many U.S. businesses faced rising costs for raw materials, especially in manufacturing and agriculture. In retaliation, China and other countries imposed their own tariffs, hurting American exports. Consumers also felt the impact through higher prices. The global supply chain was disrupted, and tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners grew. These tariffs remain a topic of debate even today. Were they a step toward fair trade, or a costly political move?
