Today, President Trump said that tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum entering the U.S. will rise from 25% to 50%, starting on Wednesday. While in Pittsburgh, he told steelworkers that this will make U.S. factories stronger, help break our dependence on Chinese products and help secure national safety ("There is no country without steel!"). According to Trump, Nippon Steel from Japan will invest $14 billion in the United States to help its steel industry and not lay off any workers and every steel worker will get a $5,000 bonus. The deal is still being worked on by both parties. Workers think there is a chance that Nippon will not respect union contracts about wages and hiring. China which produces over half the world’s steel, might be drawn back into trade wars following the accusation by Trump that they went against the recent agreement on tariffs. Despite the local union mayor’s positive view, experts say the tariffs could both upset global commerce and possibly harm the United States’ relationship with other countries. It comes a few months after Biden prevented Nippon from acquiring U.S. Steel because of security issues.
People writing American English use the 'factories' word instead of 'industries', spell words the U.S. way and attach quotes directly.
Simplified:
→ "Tit-for-tat trade battle" → "could bring back the threat of trade wars"
→ `non-tariff barriers` → "rejecting a recent agreement on tariffs"
→ The economy suffered chaos → resulting in chaos in world trade
Important Elements: Trump raises tariffs, $14 billion deal approved, workers get bonuses, tension with China, Biden blocked the deal before.
Idea for rewriting: People need buildings to live, steel is key to their construction. not the same as the exact words Donald Trump said.
