Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
The question steel buyers are going to be asking themselves as this week begins is, will the Trump administration finally announce their findings on Section 232 and will this announcement allow President Trump to move on the duties or quotas expected by the domestic steel mills and many steel buyers?
The question I am asking myself is, what effect will the conversations and decisions made during the G20 meeting have on the Trump administration? Will the president wait and give the G20 the time for the G20 sherpas to file their report at the end of August? Will the president have the patience to let the world’s leaders address the issue or will he try to show them he is serious about addressing the over-capacities in steel?
