Trump considering key change to tariff plan: report

Salon  

President-elect Donald Trump might alter his plan for across-the-board tariffs of 10 or 20% on all nations, according to the Washington Post. The plan is still moving forward, but the tariffs may target "critical imports," the Post reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. Trump's team is discussing tariffs on industrial metals like steel, iron, aluminum and copper, medical supplies and energy production, per the Post. In December, the Canadian province of Ontario threatened to restrict electricity exports to the U.S. Canada retaliated against Trump's tariffs in his first term by putting billions of new duties against the U.S. Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said in November that a 25% tariff would hit the automotive sector and raise vehicle prices for consumers by thousands of dollars.
