History Tidbit  
======================

What happened when Donald Trump imposed steel tariffs in 2018

The White House responded to lobbying from carmakers with exemptions.
The EU went after bourbon

 US imports of metals....Despite many exceptions on many products,

the uncertainty and rising raw materials costs. Domestic steel
producers also took the opportunity to push up their own prices.
