a metal industry official said on condition of anonymity

The government will help tariff-hit small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to normalize their business and diversify their export destinations,

SMEs Minister Oh Young-ju said Wednesday

The government is working to bolster trade safeguard measures, strengthening the monitoring of imported goods and any attempt to circumvent anti-dumping regulations,

Canada's Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said

Whatever they charge us, we're charging them,

Trump told reporters at the White House

When you consider a $40,000 car or something like that, it might increase the price by about $75,

said Scott Paul, president at the Alliance for American Manufacturing, an advocacy and lobbying group

It really is the magic metal,

said Charles Johnson, president and CEO of the Aluminum Association
