The European Commission is looking into making current quotas on steel imports stricter as a countermeasure to President Trump’s recently announced tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to the US, according to an article in Reuters.
Recall that those 25% tariffs are set to go into effect on March 12.
The EC has started a review and expects to finish it by the end of March, the article said.
A request for comment from the EC was not returned by the time of publication.
