Trump to announce tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to the Super Bowl that he will announce 25% tariffs on all imports of steel and aluminum on Monday.
Trump said this would apply to all countries but did not make clear when the tariffs would take effect.
The president said he would later in the week announce reciprocal tariffs on any country that has imposed tariffs on the U.S. Trump had previewed this during his press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba last week -- that means matching duties that other countries impose on American products.
“I'll be announcing, probably Tuesday or Wednesday at a news conference, reciprocal tariffs, and very simply, as if they charge us, we charge them,” Trump told reporters.
The moves are the latest in a string of tariffs Trump has threatened. The 25% tariffs that he threatened to impose on Mexico and Canada were paused for 30 days, but Trump went ahead with 10% tariffs on goods from China.
