US President Donald Trump said his administration would double duties on steel imports to 50%.
He announced the tariff hike while speaking in Pennsylvania at a US Steel plant, where he also touted a "partnership" between the American steelmaker and Japan's Nippon Steel.
"We're going to bring it from 25% to 50%, the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry," he said. "Nobody's going to get around that."
