Unite urges rule change to protect British steel as Trump threatens tariffs
DONALD TRUMP’S plans to impose tariffs on steel should be a “wake-up call” for the government, Unite warned yesterday, as it called for rule changes to prioritise home-produced steel.
The US president said he would impose 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminium imports into the country.
Mr Trump has not confirmed if Britain will be hit and said he will make a formal policy announcement later this week.
