#TrumpTariffs

The #TrumpTariffs, primarily imposed between 2018 and 2020, were import taxes levied by the U.S. government under President Donald Trump. Their stated goals included protecting American industries like steel and aluminum, reducing the trade deficit, and forcing better trade deals, particularly with China.

These tariffs covered a wide range of goods, leading to significant trade disputes. While proponents argued they revitalized domestic manufacturing, critics pointed to increased costs for U.S. consumers and businesses, retaliatory tariffs from other nations (especially China and the EU), and disruption to global supply chains. The economic impact remains a subject of ongoing debate.
