The Trump administration's new 50% tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from the rest of the world went into effect at midnight (6:00 a.m. EDT).

The US president's trade war is thus widening, in a move that is set to fuel tensions with the country's main economic partners.

Trump signed the executive order yesterday increasing these tariffs from 25% to 50%.
