Trump's latest tariff plans on steel, aluminum and other imports are spreading uncertainty

Trump - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Trump also intends this week to reset U.S. taxes on all imports to match the same levels charged by other countries, all of which comes on top of the 10% tariffs he already put on China, China's retaliatory tariffs that started Monday and the U.S. tariffs planned for Canada and Mexico that have been suspended until March 1.
