China–United States trade war

The China–United States trade war is an economic dispute where both countries imposed tariffs and trade restrictions on each other's goods to protect domestic industries and address issues like intellectual property theft and trade deficits. Initiated around 2018, it aimed to pressure China to change trade practices, but resulted in increased costs for businesses and consumers, affecting global supply chains. The conflict also involved negotiations to reach new trade agreements, though tensions sometimes persisted. Overall, it reflects broader disagreements over economic policies and geopolitical influence between the two countries.
