Washington (CNN) Wisconsin's Republican governor says President Donald Trump's newly announced tariffs could be detrimental to American jobs. On Thursday, Trump announced that his administration would implement new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The controversial move is likely to invite retaliatory measures from foreign countries, raising the specter of a trade war between the US and several other steel-producing countries. Scott Walker has asked Trump to reconsider his position on tariffs if he wants to protect US jobs. On Friday morning, Trump tweeted about the possibility of a trade war, posting that they are "easy to win."
