#TrumpTariffs

**#TrumpTariffs Tariff policies imposed by former President Donald Trump starting in 2018 aimed at protecting domestic industries and rebalancing trade included a 25% tariff on Chinese imports, especially steel, aluminum, and electronics, in addition to European goods such as wine and cars. China responded by imposing a similar tariff on American soybeans and meats, igniting a global trade war that affected supply chains and raised consumer prices. Some sectors of American manufacturing were supported, but farmers suffered heavy losses, and tensions with allies were created. It also led to companies like Harley Davidson relocating production outside of America. These policies remain a point of contention between supporters who see them as a defense of jobs and opponents who consider them harmful to the global economy.**
