The global steel industry is again braced to be impacted by Donald Trump's implementation of a 50% tariff, which he vowed last week in front of a crowd of steel workers in Pennsylvania. In South Korea, the liberal candidate, Lee Jae-myung, has been confirmed as the clear winner of the presidential election. The Dutch government has collapsed after Geert Wilders withdrew his far-right party from the governing coalition following a row over proposed legislation to restrict migration. However, some business owners say the lack of a functioning government in the Netherlands is affecting their ability to do business because key issues are not being addressed.

  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report here on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Rahul Tandon.

  • We're going to take you to South Korea and we'll also take you to the Netherlands.

  • Look at how political change there will affect both those economies.

  • But a new programme and a new tariff is in place.

  • Last week in front of a crowd of steel workers in Pennsylvania,

  • Donald Trump said that he'd put a 50% tariff on imports of steel and aluminium.

  • We are going to be imposing... a 25% increase.

  • We're going to bring it from 25% to 50% the tariffs on steel into the United States of America,

  • which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States.

  • Nobody's going to get around that.

  • So what has happened on Tuesday?

  • Here with the latest is our North of America business correspondent, Michelle Fleury.

  • You may recall that last Friday,

  • Donald Trump during a rally at a US steel plant in Pennsylvania where he campaigned during the election run,

  • he announced that he was going to double American tax on steel and aluminium imports from 25% to 50%.

  • Now he has signed that executive order,

  • making it official, and that goes into effect from tomorrow.

  • We know that the UK has an exemption that's going to remain at 25%.

  • Other countries don't.
