#Politics# | In August 2026, US President Donald Trump imposed 10%–12.5% Section 301 tariffs on major partners, including #China# and #ASEAN#.

Tariffs cannot fix US trade deficits—which hit $1.24 trillion in 2025—or inequality. Instead, passed-on costs will fuel US inflation, while 25 states are already suing the administration.
