Trump is looking for fair trade, not free trade, he said during the World Government Summit in Dubai.
The US leader substantially raised tariffs on steel and aluminium imports on Monday to a flat 25 per cent in a move he hopes will aid the struggling industries in the United States but which also risks sparking a multi-front trade war.
The tariffs will apply to millions of tons of steel and aluminium imports from Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea and other countries.
