Canada, Mexico and the EU on Tuesday slammed U.S. President Donald Trump's "unjustified" decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which has raised fears of a broader trade war. Trump signed executive orders to impose 25% tariffs on imports of the metals starting March 12, triggering a flurry of angry reactions.

President Donald Trump said Canada’s and Mexico’s pledges to boost border security to stop illegal drugs were insufficient to keep his tariffs on hold. President Donald Trump said Sunday that Mexico’s and Canada’s actions to stave off his steep tariffs are not sufficient.

If they are charging us 130% and we’re charging them nothing, it’s not going to stay that way,” he told reporters.
