Commerce Pick Wilbur Ross Targets China
Written by Sandy Williams
Wilbur Ross, Trump nominee for Commerce Secretary, talked tariffs on China during Wednesday’s confirmation hearings. The billionaire investor, who was instrumental in turning around ailing steel mills such as LTV Steel in 2002, appears to be a solid supporter of President-elect Trump’s strong-arm approach to trade.
“One of the things that we do need very careful attention to is more tariff activity, the anti-dumping requirements that we should impose on the steel industry and on the aluminum industry as well,” said Ross.
