Permalinkaluminium tariffs by the US, the government has said.
Speaking in Parliament, Trade Minister Douglas Alexander said the UK
would not have "a knee-jerk reaction" but "a cool and clear-headed"
response.
Many in the industry are calling on Britain to join the EU and Canada
who have said they will hit back against the policy announced by US
President Donald Trump on Monday.
The tariffs, set to apply from 12 March, would mean any steel or
aluminium coming into the US would be subject to an import tax worth 25%
of its value.
However, shadow trade minister Harriett Baldwin said it was "a moment of
great peril for the UK steel industry because the UK has failed to
engage with gusto with the new US administration".
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey urged the government to show "urgency"
in dealing with the issue and protecting jobs.

The UK's pathetic response to Trump's aggression is an absolute
disgrace! ๐คฌ๐คฎ
