    TARIFFS New tariffs for the US imports
    of steel and aluminum from the EU, Mexico and Canada have come into effect as
    of June 1st, in spite of mounting criticism. The USA has decided to
    no longer extend exemptions for the EU so the tariffs – 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum – would take
    effect as of Friday. The Trump administration’s actions drew a lot of heat from
    Europe, Canada and Mexico who promised to quickly retaliate against the U.S.
    exports. The European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said the new
    tariffs are unjustified at the same time running counter to WTO rules.
    According to France Press the US decision was meant to protect the US industry,
    which had to produce under capacity against a surplus of steel and aluminum on
    the global market.
