ArcelorMittal's global production footprint would help it benefit from tarif measures but the overall economic uncertainty could be bad for business AFP Steelmaker ArcelorMittal warned Wednesday that tariff uncertainty could cause further economic disruption as its global footprint helped it weather the turbulence in the first quarter. The Trump administration has slapped 25 percent tariffs on imports of aluminium and steel, but its wider tariff measures on its major trade partners -- many of them on hold as negotiations are under way -- threaten to stall global economic growth as both businesses and consumers hold back on purchases. "Heightened uncertainty around the terms of global trade is hurting business confidence and risks causing further economic disruption if not quickly resolved," ArcelorMittal's chief executive Aditya Mittal warned.
