…The levies #Trump announced on Wed are separate from the ones he has already imposed on #steel, #aluminum, & foreign-made #cars & parts. Taken as a whole, his tariffs represent a dramatic expansion from the more narrowly targeted duties he imposed in his first term—some of which the Biden Admin retained—& a final nail in the coffin for the open #trading environment that reigned before 2016.

Bytes Europe · Trump trade war would deal ‘major blow’ to UK growth – POLITICOTrump plans to unveil fresh reciprocal tariffs against U.S. trade partners next week. While the U.K. is currently working on a trade agreement to swerve those tariffs, Trump’s global trade measures will still impact Britain’s economy even if it is spared. “If global trade disputes escalate to include 20 percentage point rises in tariffs between the USA and the rest of the world, this could reduce UK GDP by a peak of 1 per cent,” the OBR forecasts in its latest assessment. Amping up U.S. tariffs on all goods imports would slash 0.6 off the OBR’s forecast of 1.9 percent

#Aluminum is a ubiquitous material that promises ease and convenience. But the #extraction of its raw material, #bauxite, and its processing into aluminum destroy vast tracts of old-growth #forest. The energy-intensive production of aluminum typically relies on powerful #hydroelectric dams that often flood the lands of #Indigenous communities. Red mud, a #toxic waste product of aluminum refining, is a serious environmental hazard.

The image depicts an underwater scene with a large number of discarded aluminum cans scattered across the ocean floor. The cans are of various sizes and shapes, with some showing signs of wear and corrosion, indicating they have been submerged for a considerable time. The water is murky, with a greenish tint, suggesting the presence of algae or other organic matter. The seabed is visible, with a mix of sand and some rocky formations. The cans are densely packed, with some overlapping each other, creating a chaotic and polluted appearance. The image highlights the issue of marine pollution, specifically the accumulation of non-biodegradable waste in underwater environments.

#EU retaliates against #Trump’s #tariffs as #TradeWar escalates

The #EuropeanUnion hit back Wed at Trump’s #steel & #aluminum tariffs w/its own levies, announcing tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of products, including bourbon & motorcycles, while warning of further retaliation.

The 27-nation bloc said its 2-stage response would target ~$28B in US exports. The announcement of the European measures came at the same time Trump’s tariffs took effect.
