US President Donald Trump has expanded his metal tariffs to target consumer products, including baby gear and motorcycles. The move affects over 400 types of goods containing steel and aluminum.
The new tariffs aim to reduce the US trade deficit by increasing the cost of imported metals for these products. This could lead to higher prices for consumers.
Motorcycles, tableware, and other items on the list were previously exempt from the tariffs. However, Trump has now decided to include them in the expanded list. The move is expected to impact various industries, including manufacturing and retail.
The decision follows a long-standing debate over trade policies and their effects on US businesses.
