#TrumpTariffs Trump tariffs were trade taxes imposed during Donald Trump's presidency, mainly targeting China and other countries. Key goals were to protect U.S. jobs, reduce the trade deficit, and push for fairer trade. Major tariffs included:
25% on steel and 10% on aluminum
Hundreds of billions on Chinese goods
The impact was mixed—some U.S. industries benefited, but others faced higher costs and global retaliation. Many of these tariffs still remain under the Biden administration.
