Trump’s Steel Tariffs Spark Trade Storm

Trump’s proposed tariffs on steel and aluminium could escalate tensions with Canada, Mexico, and Europe, sparking a trade war that threatens global stability

Donald Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium imports is set to rattle key trading partners, with Canada bearing the brunt.

As the largest supplier of aluminium to the U.S., Canada faces severe economic impacts, while the EU may soon join the fray, especially as Trump’s protectionist policies target international trade deals.

The tariffs, aimed at revitalizing U.S. metal production, could backfire, drawing retaliatory measures from affected nations, particularly Europe, which is already poised for counter-strikes.

Trump’s stance—escalating trade tensions and defying global norms—signals that a broader, more dangerous trade war could be on the horizon.

As markets and governments brace for what’s next, the ripple effect of these tariffs could be felt far beyond the U.S. borders.
