#TrumpTariffs
The tariffs were intended to address issues such as:
1. *Trade deficits*: Reducing the U.S. trade deficit by encouraging domestic production and reducing imports.
2. *Intellectual property theft*: Protecting American intellectual property, particularly in dealings with countries like China.
The effects of the tariffs are complex and multifaceted, with varying perspectives on their overall impact on the U.S. and global economies.
