Trump may ease steel and aluminum tariffs, top trade official hints

Published



United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Tuesday that the administration may ease steel and aluminum tariffs, a signal that the Trump administration is scaling back its aggressive tariff agenda in reaction to political headwinds.

Greer, speaking on CNBC, said that he has heard from companies that are having trouble complying with the Trump administration’s tariffs. The remarks come just days after some Republicans joined Democrats to vote down President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
