Tariffs are taxes on imported goods designed to protect domestic industries or pressure trading partners. The US has maintained significant tariffs on Chinese goods since 2018, citing concerns about intellectual property theft and trade imbalances, though critics argue they raise consumer prices and invite retaliation. The debate centers on whether these tariffs effectively protect American workers and businesses or simply increase costs for households and companies that rely on Chinese imports.
