Trump Imposes Steel and Aluminum Tariffs

President Trump imposed steel and aluminum tariffs on the European Union, Canada and Mexico, the Washington Post reports.

“The move is certain to trigger retaliation by the E.U. against a range of American products, including Kentucky bourbon and Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and could complicate talks over a possible new North American trade deal — further straining ties between the United States and some of its closest allies.”

New York Times: “A 25% tariff on steel and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum from the European Union, Canada and Mexico, which supply nearly half of America’s imported metal, will go into effect at midnight Thursday.”
