Trump ramps up tariffs on all steel, aluminum imports

Increasing President Donald Trump’s tariff by 25 % on all imports of steel and aluminum is officially valid on Wednesday, which is the last step in the administration’s plans to reshape global trade standards in favor of American manufacturing.

Trump’s work to assemble protection for American steel and aluminum producers restores 25 % on all imports of minerals and duties extend to hundreds of infected metal products – everything from nuts and nails to bulldozers and soda cans.

He retracted these plans after the Prime Minister Doug Ford agreed to suspend the decision of his boycott by imposing additional fees of 25 % on electricity exports to the states of Minnesota, Michigan and New York until the customs tariffs are removed early.
