President Trump said he will announce 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum on Monday, adding that he would also kick off reciprocal tariffs in the days after.
Trump said that the steel and aluminum tariffs would impact “everybody” when asked what countries would be effected.
“Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25 percent tariff — aluminum too,” Trump told reporters. “Twenty-five percent … for both.”
He added that details of the reciprocal tariffs will be announced on Tuesday or Wednesday in a news conference.
“Very simply, if they charge us, we charge them,” he said, adding that the tariffs would go into effect “almost immediately” and impact “every country.”
