US to reimpose steel, aluminium tariffs on Brazil, Argentina

Brazilian and Argentine steel and aluminium industries were latest targets of United States tariffs.

United States President Donald Trump is stepping up tariffs directed against three allies.

Trump threatened more than $2bn in new levies on French exports.

He also announced plans to reimpose new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports from Argentina and Brazil, after accusing both countries of artificially devaluing their currencies.
