US President Donald Trump has announced the introduction of new customs tariffs for steel and aluminum imports. According to his statement, from Monday, the United States will impose 25% duty on all imports of these metals, including Canada and Mexico. This decision has become part of Trump's policy on protectionism he conducts, trying to maintain the competitiveness of the US industry.
According to AP News, new tariffs for steel and aluminum will come into force immediately. President Trump confirmed this during a press conference, saying that "any steel coming to the United States will have a 25% tariff," adding that aluminum will be applied to aluminum. Trump also noted that by the end of the week, the United States will introduce new duties on other imported goods. According to the President, these measures can be a response to "mutual tariffs" imposed by other states. Donald Trump noted that if other countries continue to charge high duties on US goods, the United States will not leave it unanswered. "If they charge 130%and we will not be charged from them, it will not remain," Trump said.
This decision is part of a large -scale application policy that Trump continues to conduct as part of his economic course. It is unknown what other products will fall under new tariffs, but it is expected that it can be a serious step in trade talks between the US and other countries.
