Promise Details
Throughout the campaign and vice-presidency, Vance supported Trump’s vision of stronger protectionism. He advocated higher tariffs on Chinese and Mexican imports, arguing it would revive U.S. manufacturing. While some tariffs were expanded, negotiations with trading partners caused mixed results. Critics warn of inflation and retaliation. Vance continues to defend the policy as essential for sovereignty.
Current status
As of June 2026: tariffs have been expanded and economic-nationalist trade policies continue to be pursued, but the broader trade agenda and manufacturing objectives remain ongoing.
