Trump tariffs protect or harm U.S. economy?
Asked 2 hours ago
Answer
Trump's tariffs have led to higher prices for consumers and shortages in some industries, while the administration claims economic benefits. U.S. farmers and manufacturers report financial hardship and job losses due to retaliatory tariffs and increased costs. The White House argues tariffs boost domestic production and economic growth, but industry representatives and economists highlight negative impacts.
