U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to scale back some tariffs on steel and aluminium goods, the Financial Times reported on Feb. 13, citing people familiar with the matter.
Trump hit steel and aluminium imports with tariffs of up to 50 percent last year including the country rate on the non-steel and non-aluminum content.
