Washington will introduce tariffs on imports of steel and semiconductors during the coming fortnight, President Donald Trump told reporters, APA reports.
"I'll be setting tariffs next week and the week after on steel and on, I would say, chips and semiconductors," Trump said.
"I am going to have a rate that is going to be lower at the beginning," the US leader noted. "That gives them [foreign companies - TASS] a chance to come in and build, and very high after a certain period of time. And if they don't build here [in the United States - TASS], they have to pay a very high tariff," Trump added.
