President Trump's trade and tariff proposals are as follows:
- Universal standard tariff: Plan to replace the Biden system, which punishes domestic producers and rewards outsourcers, with a new system that rewards domestic production while taxing foreign companies.
- Ending dependence on China: A plan to completely eliminate US dependence on China, the main beneficiary of the Democratic Party's globalist policies.

The issue of tariffs is one of the longest-running debates in American history. Tariffs generate revenue for the federal government and encourage domestic production in some industries by acting as a protective barrier against foreign competitors.
Free trade sidelined tariffs in policy discussions until 2016, when President Trump advocated an America First policy that protects American producers.
Some economists believe that “free trade” is a radical idea born to benefit the world's elites.
