These Steel and Aluminum Tarriffs will be Reduced to Ineffective by the Time Trump's Done

Let's see, Canada and Mexico are exempt already. Certainly, Australia will be next. Now, reports are that South Korea will be exempt, especially because of this new Korean initiative with Kim Jong Un. The European Union can't be far behind. Certainly, the UK can't be on the "naughty" list. How about France and Germany, who have higher labor standards than us?

By the time this is all done, Trump will have his con-man, bullshit media event with steel workers, but, in the end, the whole scheme will amount to nothing.
