Trump ramps fees in all steel, aluminum imports, making Europe avenge

President Donald Trump’s 25% increase in all imports of steel and aluminum officially entered into force Wednesday, the last measure in administration plans to reshape global trade norms in favor of US production.

The action prompted revenge from the European Commission, which announced shortly after Trump’s tariffs entered into force that it would impose anti -tariffs on the $ 28 billion of US goods starting next month.

“We regret the unjustified 25% US tariff on steel and aluminum imports. The EU will protect consumers and its businesses,” the commission said in a statement. “We are starting fast, proportional countermeasures ($ 28 billion), matching the economic impact of US tariffs.”

The US Customs and Border Protection Agency interrupted imports that qualified for taxless entry under the arrangements of quotas too ahead of midnight, saying in a bulletin for carriers that quota documents had to be processed by 4:30 pm with local time on Tuesday at US entry ports or full fees would be charged.
