#TrumpTariffs
Donald Trump's tariff policy was a central element of his "America First" economic agenda during his presidency. He imposed tariffs on imports, especially from China, aiming to reduce the U.S. trade deficit and revive domestic manufacturing. Key targets included steel, aluminum, and a broad range of Chinese goods. While tariffs generated revenue and pressured foreign governments, they also led to retaliation, raising prices for U.S. consumers and farmers. The U.S.-China trade war escalated tensions and disrupted global supply chains. Supporters saw it as protecting American jobs, while critics argued it hurt the economy and strained international trade relationships.
