[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 3933995, member: 53239"] lol you actually believe American steel is somehow better than China's. Even American steel can have a possibility of impurities due to improper casting conditions, uneven heating, loss of pure byproducts, etc. The reason USA has to import steel is because we need it and are unable to produce it profitably ourselves. Business 101. The US is the world's top steel importer. The value of steel shipped into the US was just over $29 billion in 2017. Nearly 17% of steel imported into the US comes from Canada, according to S&P Global Platts. South Korea, Mexico, Brazil and China are also major exporters to the US. The new tariff could put those countries squarely in the firing line. Ben May, a director at Oxford Economics, said that 88% of Canadian steel exports went to the US in 2016. The same is true for nearly three-quarters of Mexican steel. China would be less affected because its trade with the US is already restricted by American import controls and duties.
