Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I had to smile on Friday when Brett in my office forwarded an email to me from one of the steel mills. Here is part of what this mill executive had to say:
“I occasionally write to John just to vent. It doesn’t help him, but it makes me feel better. Section 232 is the dominant alpha numeric of the last, certainly 6 weeks, maybe couple months in our industry. Now that the dust is settling and this administration once again swung and missed (see health care, infrastructure, tax reform), what hasn’t changed is the amount of unfairly traded imports that enter the U.S. Government-subsidized steel and illegal circumvention are obvious and irrefutable, and I am a little concerned that in all of Lewis’ [trade attorney Leibowitz] comments these illegal imports were not even mentioned as part of the greater issue.”
