Twitler’s sweeping tariffs on steel and aluminum imports went into effect Wednesday, attracting retaliatory measures from Europe. Twitler imposed a 25% duty on the two key industrial metals via tariffs and the elimination of exemptions. The president signed proclamations to increase the duties in February, with the White House arguing he was “taking action to protect America’s critical steel and aluminum”. The move, which was widely expected to ignite a trade war between allies, prompted Europe on Wednesday to announce countermeasures affecting about $28 billion in U.S. goods.

Canadian officials on Wednesday announced 25% tariffs on $29.8 billion of U.S.-produced goods after the Twitler administration imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum sold in the United States. Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc called the steel and aluminum tariffs “unjustified and unjustifiable” and accused the Twitler administration of “disruption and disorder” of the trade between the United States and Canada, the CBC reported. The retaliatory tariffs announced by LeBlanc are in addition to tariffs already levied on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods, raising the total amount affected to nearly $60 billion.

After Washington raised tariffs on Chinese goods by 145%, U.S. orders for medical devices have vanished. “It’s a matter of life and death because 60-70% of our business is with American clients,” said Li, marketing manager of Conmo Electronic Co. “Goods cannot be exported and money cannot be collected. This is very severe.” No other country comes close to matching China’s sales of more than $400 billion in goods to the U.S. each year.
