#TrumpTariffs were a series of import taxes imposed during Donald Trump’s presidency, aimed at reducing trade deficits and encouraging U.S. manufacturing. Starting in 2018, tariffs targeted goods from China, the EU, Canada, and others, sparking global trade tensions. China responded with retaliatory tariffs, escalating into a trade war. Supporters claimed the tariffs protected American jobs and industries. Critics argued they hurt consumers, raised prices, and strained international relations. Economists remain divided on their long-term impact. Some U.S. sectors benefited, while others, like agriculture, suffered losses. The policy remains a contentious part of Trump's economic legacy, with ongoing debates about its effectiveness.
