The US will impose tariffs up to 245% on various Chinese imports.
Key sectors include steel, aluminum, and green tech industries.
Global steel market may face redirected supply pressures amid trade friction.
In a bold escalation of trade measures, the White House has released a fact sheet revealing that Chinese imports could face tariffs as high as 245%. This move is aimed at addressing concerns over unfair trade practices, particularly in key sectors like steel, aluminum, electric vehicles, and semiconductors.
The announcement comes as part of a broader strategy by the US to protect domestic industries and combat alleged overcapacity and state subsidies from China. The US administration has cited risks to national security and economic independence as core motivations behind the tariffs.
For the steel industry, this means additional duties on Chinese steel and related products, intensifying global market volatility. Indian steelmakers, already pressured by low-cost Chinese exports, may find relief if redirected shipments flood neighboring markets instead of the US.
The new tariff structure, which spans across several industrial and tech sectors, is expected to strain US-China trade ties further and may trigger reciprocal measures from Beijing.
