Can Trump's war against free trade save US aluminium industry?

The Trump administration is expected any day now to make its long-awaited decision over whether to slap tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. Doing so, would be a provocative move that could simultaneously lift the spirits of President Trump's most ardent supporters while angering trade partners.

He states: "It's not even going to really work in terms of helping American workers."
