On February 10, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imported into the United States. Many countries have opposed the move.

The U.S. has recently been frequently adjusting its tariff policies, targeting multiple trading partners, such as China, Canada and Mexico, which shows a strong tendency towards trade protectionism. These policies not only affect bilateral trade relations but may also have a profound impact on the global economy and supply chains.
