Section 232 Tariffs Cause Turmoil
Written by Sandy Williams
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has made it official—there will be no tariff exemptions for Canada, Mexico, and the European Union.
In a briefing on Thursday, Ross said the tariffs of 25 percent on imports of steel and 10 percent on imports of aluminum will go into effect at midnight. Argentina, Brazil, Australia and South Korea have agreed to voluntary quotas and are excluded from the tariffs.
