Hands Off Protests Sweep Across U.S. Over Trump’s Tariff Policies

Across the United States, from Southern California to the Greater Rochester region, massive protests dubbed 'Hands Off' have erupted in response to President Trump's tariff policies. These demonstrations have attracted thousands of participants, showcasing widespread public discontent with the administration's economic strategies, particularly those affecting industries like automotive and technology.

The protests, which have seen significant turnout in various cities, are not only a critique of the tariffs but also spotlight issues like economic freedom and the impact on businesses, with notable figures like Elon Musk vocalizing opposition. Musk, a prominent entrepreneur, has been vocal about how these tariffs could negatively affect Tesla and the broader electric vehicle market, which relies heavily on international supply chains.

Scenes from the protests show a diverse coalition of citizens, industry representatives, and activists united in their call for a reassessment of the tariff policies. The movement underscores a broader debate on economic policy, international trade, and the future of American industries in a globalized economy.
