President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminum, raising them from 25% to 50%. This decision, made during a rally at a steel plant, aims to bolster the domestic industry amidst ongoing legal challenges regarding existing tariffs. The announcement comes as U.S. Steel reaches a major agreement with Japan's Nippon Steel without layoffs. However, this move may exacerbate tensions with key trading partners, particularly Canada, which is the largest steel exporter to the U.S.
Trump announced his decision during a rally at U.S. Steel's Mon Valley Works, emphasizing that increasing tariffs would secure the domestic steel industry further.
The steepened tariffs could potentially escalate tensions between the U.S. and its previous top steel partners, including Canada and Mexico.
