Will Section 232 Action Against Foreign Steel Be Vunerable to Court Challenges
Written by John Packard
This afternoon there was a press conference in Washington hosted by the American Institute for International Steel. Many of the large press organizations attended the conference, and even though we were unable to personally attend, we did receive notes about the content and especially the questions that interested the press corps.
There appears to be a lot of interest in the federal agencies that are “pushing back” against a DOC/President Trump ruling against foreign steel for national security reasons. We have heard Treasury, Defense, NEC and Agriculture, and there may be others. This is one of the main reasons why the Department of Commerce has not yet released its report and recommendations.
