The new 25% tariff rates on steel and aluminum imports into the United States are due to take effect on March 12, according to the executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on Monday.

The president imposed a 25 percent tariff on global metals, repeating a move from his first term. Economists and foreign governments know what will come next.

The new 25 per cent tariff rates on steel and aluminum imports into the United States are due to take effect on March 12, according to the executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on Monday.

President Donald Trump has said he will announce a 25% import tax on all steel and aluminium entering the US, a move that will have the biggest impact in Canada.

Trump paused his planned 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada for at least a month but still implemented a tariffs on goods from China.

But there’s a reason to think that Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs will stick: He implemented a nearly identical policy during his first term.
