EU and others may get tariff exemptions, US trade official says

整段大意：
繼加墨後，歐盟、南韓、澳洲、阿根廷和巴西可能成為美國鋼鋁提高關稅的豁免對象。
提高關稅政策一公布，美國主要鋼鋁進口國紛紛進行動作申請豁免。
此關稅政策將於這個星期五正式生效。
The United States may avoid a trade war with some of its top allies.
The European Union, South Korea, Australia, Argentina and Brazil may be exempt
ed from the Trump administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum, US Trade Rep
resentative Robert Lighthizer told the House Ways and Means Committee on Wedne
sday.
Lighthizer stopped short of saying that exemptions were certain for those coun
tries. But his comments were the clearest yet on which countries might avoid t
he trade penalties.
The tariffs — 25% on foreign steel and 10% on foreign aluminum — are schedul
ed to take effect Friday.
The Trump administration has already said Canada and Mexico will be exempt. Pr
esident Trump has tied those exclusions to progress in NAFTA renegotiation tal
ks.
The further exemptions raised by Lighthizer would mean that the top four steel
exporters to the United States, and four of the top seven aluminum exporters,
would be left out of the tariffs, according to US government data and Panjiva
, a research firm owned by S&P Global.
The Trump administration claims imported steel and aluminum pose a risk to US
national security. Many US allies have argued that their steel does not pose a
threat.
Lighthizer said that while the United States and those countries work out the
details of possible exemptions, the tariffs would likely not apply during that
time span in order to avoid brief disruptions in supply chains.
He said "great numbers" of countries have asked the US administration for exem
ptions.

這政策可能引發全球貿易戰，
但在媒體沒看到沒聽到半條新聞報導。
台灣是美國鋼鐵第九大進口國，
這個加稅政策對台灣鋼鐵產業應該影響頗大，
也不知道這個政府有為台灣鋼鐵業爭取過什麼...
