US EditionTrump signs executive order raising tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%
- On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order doubling U.S. Tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50 percent, affecting multiple trading partners including the EU, Canada, and Mexico.
- The tariff increase followed initial 10 percent tariffs imposed in early April, aimed at pressuring countries to change trade practices Washington deemed unfair, with special focus on China.
- The announcement sparked strong international opposition, with Canada calling the tariffs illegal, the EU warning of retaliation and damage to negotiations, and Mexico seeking exemption due to the U.S. Trade surplus.
- OECD chief economist Alvaro Pereira said trade, consumption, and investment have been affected and warned the U.S. Economy would face the largest repercussions amid ongoing appeals and talks.
- The tariffs have heightened tensions with key partners, prompted urgent calls for swift negotiated solutions, and contributed to the OECD lowering its global growth forecast.
