Market Chatter: Trump Plans Tariff Hike for Steel and Aluminum Amid Nippon-US Steel Deal Negotiation

MT Newswires Live06-03

President Donald Trump intends to raise tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, according to Bloomberg News, citing the president during a visit to a United States Steel Corp. plant near Pittsburgh.

Trump was also there to champion a prospective deal between US Steel and Japan's Nippon Steel (TYO:5401), aiming to ensure the iconic American firm remains domestically owned and operated, despite vague details of the agreement.

He stated the higher tariffs would particularly benefit the American operations of any new venture, emphasizing that a 50% tariff would effectively prevent foreign entities from undermining the industry.
