The White House announced 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports.The US is the world's top steel importer, sourcing mainly from Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.Higher tariffs may increase US inflation, affecting industries reliant on these metals.President Donald Trump on Monday ordered 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, escalating his trade moves against some of the nation's closest allies."Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25% tariff," Trump said on Sunday on board Air Force One en route to the Super Bowl. At the time, he did not provide further details.Trump told reporters on Monday that he would announce "reciprocal tariffs," likely on Tuesday or Wednesday, on countries that have placed tariffs on US goods."If they are charging us 130% and we're charging them nothing, it's not going to stay that way," Trump said.Steel and aluminum were among the first products that Trump targeted during his first term. He imposed tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum butlatergrantedsomeduty-free exemptions for trade partners, including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil.Since companies tend to pass the higher price of tariffs on to their customers, the move could boost prices of construction, cars, and travel.The US is the world's top importer of steel, which is used in a wide range of industries, from construction to automobile manufacturing.Canada, Mexico, and Brazil were the US' largest steel and iron suppliers last year by dollar value, Census Bureau data showed.Canada and Mexico were also among the top countries for aluminum and bauxite imports. The United Arab Emirates ranked No. 2, based on 2024 Census Bureau data by dollar value. Aluminum is used for aircraft construction, consumer products like cans, and construction, among other industries.Shortly after taking office, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on most goods from Canada and Mexico. He later announced that those tariffs would be delayed 30 days after he reached a deal with both countries to strengthen border security.Trump also placed a 10% tariff on imports from China, and China quickly announced retaliatory tariffs on coal, crude oil, agricultural machinery, and some vehicles. The tariffs announced Monday come in addition to the 10% tariffs on other goods, Bloomberg reported.Charles Johnson, the president of the US Aluminum Association, said in a February 1 statement: "To ensure that American aluminum wins the future, President Trump should exempt the aluminum metal supply needed for American manufacturers, while continuing to take every possible action at the US border against unfairly traded Chinese aluminum."There are fears that higher US tariffs on imports from key trade partners could drive up inflation in the US at least in the short term."Constructing and ramping up new smelters/mills can take three or more years," Morgan Stanley analysts Carlos De Alba and Justin Ferrer said in a January 29 report. "Hence, any import tariffs applied to metals or mined products are likely to result in higher domestic prices for local buyers of these materials."

By Ed Cara Published February 10, 2025 | Comments (2) | The cruise ship Radiance of the Seas departing from Fremantle Harbour, Western Australia, in 2015. Bahnfrend, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons The cruise ship outbreak season this year is getting off to a fast, vomit-soaked start. Two separate outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness that have affected over 100 people each have been reported this monththe sixth and seventh such outbreaks to have occurred aboard cruise ships that visit U.S. ports since January. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention detailed the outbreaks via its Vessel Sanitation Program. In the most recent outbreak, reported Monday afternoon, at least 104 passengers and 12 crew members aboard Holland Americas Rotterdamhave gotten sick during the two-week cruise, which began on February 2 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is expected to land this Friday. As is often the case, the outbreak has been traced back to norovirus. Cruise ships are a notorious environment for foodborne outbreaks, thanks to the close living conditions and shared dining common to them. But 2025 is already looking to be an especially bad year for cruise vacations, gastrointestinal-wise. This latest outbreak is the seventh reported to the CDC this year and the second in February, well above the typical pace of recent years. For context, there were only two outbreaks reported through early February in 2024 and three in 2023 (there were a total of 18 reported outbreaks in 2024 and 14 outbreaks in 2023). Over the weekend, the CDC also reported an outbreak aboard Royal CaribbeansRadiance of the Seas, which ultimately affected at least 160 passengers and eight crew members before the ship landed on February 8. The cause of theRadiance outbreak is unknown for now, but a smart bettor would put their money on norovirus. More than 90% of diarrheal disease outbreaks on ships are caused by norovirus, which can spread easily and quickly through contaminated food and water; close enough contact with infected people; or even from touching surfaces contaminated with invisible specks of an infected persons poop or vomit. Norovirus is often referred to as the cruise ship virus, but its a common problem virtually everywhere. Less than 1% of all norovirus cases in the U.S. are tied to cruise ships, according to the CDC. Norovirus in general has been surging as of late, with a higher number of outbreaks in the U.S. reported since last summer than the tally reported in recent seasons.According to the Cruise Lines International Association, the odds of getting sick from norovirus or any gastrointestinal illness aboard a cruise ship are quite rare. Still, given the unusual glut of outbreaks reported so far in 2025, a cruise ship vacation will personally remain low on my ideal vacation list. Should you disagree, then the CDCs advice to you while cruising is to make sure to regularly wash your hands, leave any area where people appear to be visibly sick with a gastrointestinal illness, and report these potential cases to ship staff if theyre not already aware.Daily NewsletterYou May Also Like By Ed Cara Published January 28, 2025 By Ed Cara Published January 27, 2025 By Ed Cara Published January 20, 2025 By Ed Cara Published January 13, 2025 By Ed Cara Published December 30, 2024 By Ed Cara Published December 16, 2024
