Navarro said he expects President Donald Trump to sign the measures by the end of this week or early in the next.The economic adviser called the President's move, which will impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum, a "courageous and tough decision".

"Ironically, American companies who will feel the negative impact of the tariffs can actually move their operations to another country, such as Canada, and not face new tariffs on the sale of their products".

Top American allies, including Canada and the European Union, have pledged to retaliate if Trump follows through on the plan.

"We will put tariffs on Harley-Davidson, on bourbon and on blue jeans - Levis", European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker told German television.

But in a CNBC interview, Mr. Ross inadvertently explained why that doesn't work, as he argued other countries won't retaliate against US tariffs: Foreign countries buy USA goods to get the best price, and if they stop, their costs will go up, he said.

Last year, Germany's automotive trade association said "the United States would be shooting itself in the foot by imposing tariffs or other trade barriers".

As well as widespread condemnation from vehicle makers, who have pointed out that the manufacturer their most successful models in the U.S. already, employing hundreds of thousands of Americans directly and indirectly, Trump's comments have brought a mixed reaction from his political allies and opponents.

The Best and Worst Places in the U.S. for Women
When it came to health and safety, MA - known as a hub in the medical world - excelled. That's either an indication of how great Minnesota is or how poor 49 other states are.

A United States official said Friday possible exemptions to the measures would be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Trump said trade wars are good and easy to win, but Keith said no one is going to win.

While China is the world's largest steel producer, it accounts for less than one percent of U.S. imports and sells only 10 percent of its wrought aluminium overseas.

China's foreign minister tore into the new steel and aluminium tariffs announced by US President Trump, calling them "groundless" in remarks to state media Saturday.

America is the largest export market for cars built in the EU. Zekelman is promising to give its workers a $1,000 annual bonus if the president's trade policy changes go into effect.

"We're talking about a fraction of a penny", on the impact on American consumers, Ross said on NBC's "Meet the Press".

Other world leaders also threatened retaliation.
