Trump's steel, aluminium tariffs: How are targeted countries responding?
Briefly

The recent implementation of tariffs by President Trump on steel and aluminum imports has resulted in escalating tensions with major trading partners such as Canada, Mexico, and the EU. Countries are either retaliating with their own tariffs, seeking exemptions, or negotiating to mitigate impacts. As the top suppliers of steel to the US, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico account for nearly half of US imports, while Canada dominates the aluminum market. The tariff implications are forecasted to raise manufacturing costs across several industries, affecting prices of consumer goods and infrastructure projects.
The tariffs on steel and aluminium are causing significant disruptions in global markets, prompting countries like Canada and Mexico to respond with retaliatory measures.
While some nations seek exemptions, the broader impact of these tariffs on various industries raises concerns over increased production costs and potential inflation.
