USA Today:

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump says he does not intend on creating exemptions on sweeping steel and aluminum tariffs and reaffirmed that additional duties will go into effect early next month.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One late Sunday, Trump said 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imported into the U.S., which went into effect last week, are here to stay. He added that reciprocal and sectorial tariffs will kick in on April 2, which he referred to as a "liberating day."

"They charge us, and we charge them," he said, referring to the reciprocal tariffs. "Then, in addition to that, on autos, on steel, on aluminum, we're going to have some additional tariffs."
