Which U.S. ally received a permanent exemption from steel/aluminum tariffs in 2019 after quota talks?

Question

Accepted Answer

South Korea accepted steel export quotas in 2019 to secure a permanent exemption from Trump's 25% Section 232 tariffs—a precedent that shaped the 2025 EU negotiations. Unlike Korea, the EU refused quota limits but ultimately accepted a 15% tariff on most goods in the July 27 Turnberry deal. Steel and aluminum tariffs on the EU stayed at 50%, showing that the Korea model of accepting quotas for full exemption remained the only path to zero tariffs on those metals.
