As a reaction to the tariffs on steel imposed by Trump, 8 countries filed formal complaints with the World Trade Organization.

Trade uncertainty creates a climate of instability in the world economy, which will reflect on greater levels of inflation and will affect millions of people. It could be one of the factors triggering a new recession.
