• President Donald Trump signed orders imposing 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, effective March 12, citing national security concerns.
• The tariffs will apply to major trade partners such as Canada, Mexico, the European Union, and others, while Australia may be exempt due to favorable trade balances.
• Canada, the largest supplier of these metals to the U.S., and other affected nations like the EU and the UK, have promised retaliatory measures in response to the tariffs.
