U.S. President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his intent to impose new tariffs on imports of aluminum and steel.

In a meeting with state governors at the White House on Monday, Trump said he wants to bring the steel industry back to America even if it means applying tariffs to imports from other countries.

He added that such a move will probably cost a little bit more, but the U.S. will have jobs. 

Last month, the U.S. Commerce Department recommended Trump impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from South Korea, China and other countries, giving Trump a range of options. 

Trump has until April eleventh to make a decision on steel imports and until April 19th to decide about aluminum imports.
