Trump Doubles Steel & Aluminum Tariffs to 50%, Triggering Global Backlash | Firstpost America | N18G

US President Donald Trump has announced a sharp increase in tariffs on imported steel and aluminium, raising them from 25% to 50%. The move, revealed at a rally near Pittsburgh, aims to protect American metal industries and secure jobs. The new tariffs take effect Wednesday and include both raw materials and metal products like appliances and hardware. Trump accused China of breaking a prior trade agreement and called President Xi "tough to deal with." The decision drew backlash from Canada, the EU, and Australia, who warned of retaliation. With global trade talks stalled, this dramatic hike signals rising tensions and the possible return of a full-scale trade war. Watch for more.
