US EditionTrump signs executive order raising tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%
- On April 2, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an order doubling US steel and aluminum tariffs from 25% to 50% at the White House Rose Garden.
- Trump imposed these higher tariffs to pressure trading partners and address practices the US viewed as unfair, especially targeting China with levies up to 145%.
- The tariffs affected trade, consumption, and investment, triggered strong EU and Canadian opposition, and led to calls for urgent negotiated solutions from G7 officials.
- US Treasury yields remained steady on the tariff increase day, with the 10-year yield at 4.452%, while OECD chief economist Pereira warned the US economy will face the largest impacts.
- The tariffs raised tensions, prompted a 90-day suspension agreement starting May 12, and signaled risks to global growth and ongoing trade talks between the US, EU, and China.
