Billionaire investor Howard Lutnick has stated that former US President Donald Trump is maintaining his timeline for implementing aluminum and steel tariffs. Speaking in an interview, Lutnick suggested that Trump remains committed to his earlier policies, which aimed at protecting US metal industries from foreign competition.

These tariffs, initially imposed during Trump's presidency, were intended to curb excessive imports and bolster domestic manufacturing. The announcement comes amid speculation about potential changes to US trade policies should Trump return to office. While some industry players expected a possible delay or revision, Lutnick's remarks indicate that Trump will remain firm on his tariff approach.

Market analysts predict that a continued tariff policy could impact global trade flows, particularly affecting major exporters like China and India. The US steel and aluminum industries have seen fluctuating demand, and renewed tariff enforcement could reshape supply chains and pricing strategies.
