Trump trade adviser says no exceptions for allies on new aluminum and steel tariffs

The Washington Post: The Trump administration sent mixed signals Sunday about its new aluminum and steel tariffs, saying that any exceptions for allies are unlikely but also leaving room for an unpredictable president to change his mind.
