History

Historical Context

In 2018, President Donald Trump initiated a trade war by imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum, echoing the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which worsened the Great Depression. By 2019, the Supreme Court ruled against these tariffs, which had cost U.S. consumers an estimated $1.4 billion monthly. The ongoing trade tensions continue to shape U.S. economic policy and international relations.
