President Donald Trump announced 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports on Monday, targeting critical industrial goods after shoring up trade relations with Japan and setting the stage for what is expected to be a lengthy economic showdown with China.
“Very simply, it’s if they charge us, we charge them,” Trump said over the weekend.
Aluminum and steel are key materials in industrial manufacturing, an industry Trump hopes to resuscitate in the U.S. economy. To that end, he further announced during a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba that he had convinced Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel rather than buy it outright.
“Very exciting”
“So they’ve agreed to invest heavily in US Steel, as opposed to own it. And that sounds very exciting,” he said. Last year, the Japanese firm reached an agreement to purchase the iconic American company. The announcement drew outrage from the American public and Trump vowed during the campaign that he would stop the deal.
Trump’s approach to tackling a trade war thus far appears to be addressing trade deficits with key allies to bolster American industry while imposing tariffs on critical Chinese goods. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
