US steel and aluminium imports face big tariffs, Trump says
President Donald Trump has said he will sign off on steep tariffs on steel and aluminium imports next week, hitting producers like Canada and China.
Flanked by US metals executives at the White House, he said a 25% tariff would be slapped on steel products, and a 10% tariff would be imposed on aluminium.
Mr Trump tweeted that the US was suffering from "unfair trade".
The US imports four times more steel than it exports, and is reliant on steel from more than 100 nations.

Mexican Coke as bought by Americans is always in old-skool glass bottles. There may be concerns of lead or asbestos in the bottlecap but Americans are civilized enough to know to wipe the mouthpiece of every glass bottle after opening.
