A range of businesses that rely on foreign-made steel and aluminum have already begun feeling the impacts of Trump’s previously-imposed levies. But the latest anticipated hikes could drive up costs even more.Steel and aluminum are used

And even if you aren’t in the market to buy a new vehicle,that use imports of either metal, driving up overall maintenance and ownership costs.In the grocery aisle, steel and aluminum are

for many foods, including canned tuna, soup and nuts.

Consumers who have the product should throw it away or return it to the store.E. coli bacteria can cause infections with symptoms that include dehydration, diarrhea and cramps.
