United States President Donald Trump has announced his administration is raising tariffs on steel imports from 25 percent to 50 percent.Speaking to steelworkers and supporters at a rally outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump framed his latest tariff increase as a boon to the domestic manufacturing industry.

“We’re going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent, the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump told the crowd. “Nobody’s going to get around that.”How that tariff increase would affect an existing free-trade pact with Canada and Mexico – or a separate trade deal struck earlier this month with the United Kingdom – remains unclear.Also left ambiguous was the nature of a partnership developping between Nippon Steel, the largest steel producer in Japan, and the domestic company US Steel. Still, at the rally, Trump played up the partnership as a “blockbuster agreement”.

“ There’s never been a $14bn investment in the history of the steel industry in the United States of America,” Trump said of the deal.A tariff hike on steel

Friday’s rally was a return to the site of many election-season campaign events for Trump and his team.

The Justice Department contends a divestiture of the Chrome browser that Google CEO Sundar Pichai helped build nearly 20 years ago would be among the most effective countermeasures against Google continuing to amass massive volumes of browser traffic and personal data that could be leveraged to retain its dominance in the AI era.Executives from both OpenAI and Perplexity testified last month that they would be eager bidders for the Chrome browser if Mehta orders its sale.

Google’s lawyer John Schmidtlein said on Friday that AI companies should “get to work” on their own products rather than try to persuade the court to give them unfair access to Google’s innovations.The debate over Google’s fate also has pulled in opinions from Apple, mobile app developers, legal scholars and startups.
