- U.S. Secretary of Defense Mattis supports recommendations from the Commerce Department in urging “targeted” tariffs on steel and aluminum, while warning that more sweeping action might antagonize U.S. allies.
- The Defense Department agrees that imports of steel and aluminum “based on unfair trading practices” undermine national security, Mattis says in a memo to Commerce Secretary Ross.
- Pres. Trump has until April to decide whether to take action on the Commerce Department's recommendations, which included a range of options for tariffs as high as 24% on foreign steel and 7.7% on aluminum.
