Washington, Trump’s second word for business and the world is your guide for him

Steel and aluminum’s 50 percent US tariffs will be effective after Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, a court on Tuesday signed an executive order to extend his World Trade War a week after the illegal verdict of his tariff.

New Tariff Earlier this year, the President introduced twice the existing tariffs in 25 percent sectors. The responsibilities of UK steel and aluminum will be 25 percent-to make a engraving after signing a trade agreement with Washington last month for London.

Trump Tuesday said that the tariffs were necessary to prevent dumping by foreign manufacturers that “threatened to damage national security”.

“Extended tariffs will more effectively resist foreign countries in the US market, which is offloading low -cost, excessive steel and aluminum in the US market, and resulting in reduced the competition of the US steel and aluminum industry,” Trump wrote in this order.

Additional duties intensify the President’s bid to re -shape international trade, even as much as its trade agenda remains as legal limbo. A court ruled last week that April 2 was lacking in his authority when its most broom “release day” was imposed on his authority.

This verdict – which was paused by the Appellate Court – did not affect the specific tariffs such as steel and aluminum, which Trump introduced a different authority.

Additional steel and aluminum tariffs that are effective from 12:01 on Wednesday are not immediately applicable to the UK, which became the first country to execute a trade agreement with the administration last month.

However, Trump indicated that his trade secretary Howard Lutnik “if” does not adhere to the relevant aspects “.

The President announced plans to double the tariff During an assembly Last week a pencilvania steel mill, promised to erect a “fence” around the domestic metal industry that would effectively lock out foreign producers.

“It means no one will be able to steal your industry,” he told a delighted crowd of steel workers on Friday. “In 25 percent, they can overcome this fence. 50 percent they can no longer overcome the fence.”

The policy gained intense condemnation from Canada, the largest supplier of steel and aluminum in the United States, where the industry warned for the loss of “mass disruption” and “catastrophic” in recent days.
