Trump's Tariff Troubles: A Fresh Look at U. S. Trade Policies

The U. S. has done it again. This time, they've slapped a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum. It's a move that's more than just a slap on the wrist for Canada. It's a shot in the foot for the U. S. economy. The U. S. President, Trump, has a history of this. In 2018, when he was in his first term, he did the same thing. He put tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. He claimed it was for national security. But many saw it as an insult. Now, just a month into his second term, Trump is at it again. He's targeting Canada and Mexico with these tariffs. But this time, it's not just them. It's the whole world. The U. S. has always been a big player in global trade. But with these tariffs, they're shaking things up. They're changing the rules of the game. And it's not just Canada and Mexico that are feeling the heat. It's everyone. But why is the U. S. doing this? Is it really about national security? Or is there something else going on? It's a question that's been on many minds. The U. S. has always been a big player in global trade. But with these tariffs, they're shaking things up.
