US EditionTrump tells US steelworkers he’s going to double tariffs on foreign steel from 25% to 50%
- On Friday in Pennsylvania, US President Donald Trump announced plans to raise steel and aluminum tariffs from 25 percent to 50 percent while speaking to workers at a steel manufacturing facility.
- This tariff increase follows Trump's ongoing trade war campaign to protect domestic industries while drawing opposition from the European Union and bipartisan US politicians.
- Trump highlighted a forthcoming collaboration between US Steel and Japan’s Nippon Steel that promises $14 billion in economic impact and substantial job growth, while noting that he must review and approve the final agreement, which has not yet been presented.
- United Steelworkers union president David McCall said the union was not consulted on the partnership and expressed concerns about the merger's impact on national security, members, and communities.
- The tariff hike will start June 4, 2025, reinforcing Trump’s broader trade policies despite earlier legal challenges, and risks further disrupting global trade relations and financial markets.
