#TrumpTariffs

The Trump Tariffs refer to a series of trade barriers imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump, primarily targeting China, the European Union, and other key trading partners between 2018 and 2020. These tariffs aimed to reduce the U.S. trade deficit, protect American manufacturing, and pressure foreign nations to negotiate better trade deals. Key industries affected included steel, aluminum, electronics, and agriculture. While some praised the move as a step toward fairer trade, critics argued it triggered retaliatory tariffs, disrupted global supply chains, and increased costs for American consumers and businesses. The policy remains a major point in trade debate today.
