…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.

How US tariffs are disrupting Europe's aluminium industry.

Europeans do not export much aluminium to the United States. Yet, the 25% tariffs imposed by Donald Trump are disrupting the sector, particularly the recycling branch.

@vtrlx It seems that even Health Canada only considers steel and iron as safe: canada.ca/en/health-canada/ser

When I read between the lines, aluminium being considered kinda-maybe-probably-safe, but concluding with "Don't cook or store food in aluminum cookware for long periods.", is codeword for "We don't want to piss off our #aluminum industry, buuuuuut… 😏"

www.canada.caThe safe use of cookware and bakeware - Canada.caPots, pans and other cookware are made from a variety of materials. These materials can enter the food that we cook in them. Most of the time, this is harmless. However, care should be taken with some materials.

Bytes Europe · Trump trade war would deal ‘major blow’ to UK growth – POLITICOTrump plans to unveil fresh reciprocal tariffs against U.S. trade partners next week. While the U.K. is currently working on a trade agreement to swerve those tariffs, Trump’s global trade measures will still impact Britain’s economy even if it is spared. “If global trade disputes escalate to include 20 percentage point rises in tariffs between the USA and the rest of the world, this could reduce UK GDP by a peak of 1 per cent,” the OBR forecasts in its latest assessment. Amping up U.S. tariffs on all goods imports would slash 0.6 off the OBR’s forecast of 1.9 percent
