Trade War Looming?

 

US President Donald Trump announced on 1 Mar that he would impose hefty tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to protect US producers. The US President said that duties of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum would be formally announced this week. Trump’s new trade protectionism move is expected to invite retaliation from major trade partners such as China, Europe and neighbouring Canada.
