UK steelmakers call Trump doubling tariffs 'another body blow'

UK steelmakers are facing another setback as US President Donald Trump decides to double import taxes on steel and aluminium to 50%, replacing the earlier 25% tariffs. The new tariffs could disrupt orders and shipments, causing uncertainty and potential cancellations. UK Steel expressed concerns about the impact on the industry and urged the UK government to finalize agreements to eliminate these tariffs under the recent trade deal with the US, which is still being negotiated.
