Trump's tariffs were a key part of his "America First" economic policy. Imposed mainly on China, Canada, the EU, and Mexico, these tariffs targeted goods like steel, aluminum, and electronics. The goal was to protect American industries, reduce the trade deficit, and pressure trading partners into better deals. While they led to some renegotiated trade agreements, critics argue they raised costs for U.S. businesses and consumers and triggered retaliation from affected countries. The tariffs sparked global trade tensions and uncertainty, especially during the U.S.-China trade war. Overall, the impact was mixed, benefiting some industries while hurting others.
