  • U.S. President Donald Trump followed through on recent threats Monday evening and signed an order to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports
  • including from Canada.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, a move that was part of his broader "America First" trade policy aimed at protecting U.S. industries from what he described as unfair trade practices. This decision was made without exceptions for any countries, including allies, which led to significant international backlash and retaliatory tariffs from countries like Canada, Mexico, and the European Union. The tariffs were intended to revive American manufacturing by making imported metals more expensive, thereby encouraging domestic production. However, this policy sparked concerns about potential increases in costs for industries reliant on these materials, potential job losses in sectors affected by retaliatory measures, and the risk of escalating into a broader trade war. The article also touches on the ongoing debate about the effectiveness and economic impact of these tariffs, with critics arguing that they could lead to higher prices for consumers and disrupt global trade relations.
