#TrumpTariffs Donald Trump's tariff policy is a cornerstone of his "America First" trade agenda, aimed at protecting domestic industries and reducing trade deficits. Since 2025, his administration has imposed significant tariffs on a wide range of imported goods from numerous countries and blocs, including a 10% baseline reciprocal tariff on many imports and higher country-specific duties for nations with substantial trade imbalances.
These tariffs, often justified under national security grounds or as a response to perceived unfair trade practices, have led to increased costs for consumers and businesses in the US, as well as retaliatory tariffs from trading partners. While the administration asserts that tariffs generate revenue and encourage reshoring of manufacturing, critics argue they disrupt global supply chains, hinder economic growth, and can increase inflation. Negotiations with various countries are ongoing, with deadlines set for new trade agreements to potentially avoid or reduce these duties.
