🚨 TRADE SHOCKWAVES ARE BACK.
The U.S. is preparing to slap a 25% tariff on the full value of any finished product containing steel or aluminum — not just the metal inside it. That means cars, machinery, appliances, and even construction materials just got a lot more expensive. 🏗️🚗
In 2024 alone, the U.S. imported over $49 billion worth of steel and aluminum. At a 25% rate on total product value, this could bring in $12 billion+ annually in tariff revenue for the government. 💰
Why now? The U.S. runs a $31 billion+ trade deficit in these metals — and these tariffs are laser-focused on closing that gap. 🎯
While the headline rate has dropped from 50% to 25%, the broader application (full product value vs. metal content) means many goods will face a higher effective tax burden. A presidential proclamation could drop as soon as this week. ⏳
Biggest targets? Canada, the EU, Mexico, and South Korea — they have the most at stake. 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇲🇽🇰🇷
