US EditionDonald Trump’s Steel and Aluminium Tariffs Expected to Push up US Import Costs by $100bn
- On June 3, President Donald Trump increased the import duties on steel and aluminum from India to 50%, building on an earlier 25% levy introduced earlier this year.
- The tariff increase stems from Trump’s broader use of Section 232 powers to protect domestic industries and negotiate trade deals despite a May 29 federal court ruling limiting his authority.
- The new tariffs threaten to disrupt nearly $5 billion in Indian steel and aluminum shipments to the U.S., complicating ongoing free trade agreement negotiations between the two countries.
- The Indian government has downplayed the effect of the tariffs, suggesting limited impact due to the relatively small share of exports to the US, while experts such as Ajay Srivastava have cautioned that the measures could pose significant risks, potentially leading to annual losses nearing $2 billion for major steel producers.
- These tariffs risk undermining India's export competitiveness and trade relations with the U.S. while increasing costs for American importers and placing steel producers under economic pressure.

Steel tariffs won't work this time, either - Washington Examiner
President Donald Trump’s administration recently raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%, less than three months after imposing a 25% tariff on them. But like the overall Trump policy, the steel and aluminum tariffs won’t help the United States economically. The June 3 move was a not-too-subtle rebuke to a federal court striking down Trump’s broader tariff regime, a May 29 decision by a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Internat…
