Donald Trump said he will increase steel tariffs from 25% to 50% to further protect the US steel industry.
US President Donald Trump on Friday said he will raise steel import tariffs from 25 per cent to 50 per cent, increasing pressure on global producers and toughening the trade war.
“We are going to be imposing a 25 per cent increase. We’re going to bring it from 25 per cent to 50 per cent the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Taking a swipe at China, Trump said America’s future should be built with “the strength and the pride of Pittsburgh,” not “shoddy steel from Shanghai.”
Donald Trump said he kept his promise to Western Pennsylvania by protecting steel jobs and preventing US Steel from shutting down in the Mon Valley.
“By the time I came into office, many feared that the Mon Valley would lose up to 3,000 steel jobs, that US Steel would close… a fixture of the Pittsburgh skyline… But I promised the people of Western Pennsylvania that I would never ever let that happen— and as President, I kept that promise,” Trump said in his address.
