Trump says no exemptions with metal tariffs to start in March

Quick Summary:

The move threatens to have a big impact in Canada, a major source of the metals in the US.

He said while Trump was "deadly serious" about trade, he thought the plan was "about getting the rest of the world's attention"."Just about everything Donald Trump does in Washington is a negotiating tactic," he said.

The US president said he was introducing new standards that require steel to be "melted and poured" and aluminium to be "smelted and cast" in North America.
