The United States will double its tariff on steel imports from 25% to 50%, President Donald Trump said on Friday.
“We are going to be imposing a 25% increase. We are going to bring it from 25% to 50% tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States. Nobody is going to get around that,” Trump told a rally at the US Steel plant in Pittsburgh.
