The 25 percent duties, which came into effect last week, have drawn concern from sectors reliant on the two metals.

The article from MSN discusses the reactions of U.S. business leaders to former President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Trump's proposal includes a 10% tariff on aluminum and a 25% tariff on steel, aimed at protecting domestic industries. Business leaders have expressed a range of responses: some support the move, citing benefits for American steel and aluminum producers by leveling the playing field against unfairly traded imports. However, there is significant concern among others about potential negative impacts, such as increased costs for manufacturers, possible retaliation from trade partners, and the risk of sparking a broader trade war. Critics argue that these tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, disrupt supply chains, and potentially harm industries that rely on imported metals. The article also mentions that while some sectors like steel production might see short-term gains, the broader economic implications could be detrimental, with fears of job losses in industries that use these metals as inputs.
