AIIS: Section 232 Could Open ‘Pandora’s Box’ of Trade
Written by Tim Triplett
If the Trump administration restricts steel imports under Section 232, it will open the United States to a host of retaliatory measures by other nations and will do little to address the root cause of the problem, which is China, argues the American Institute for International Steel (AIIS), a trade group representing foreign steel producers.
“AIIS has led the effort against imposition of new national security-based trade restrictions on steel imports. These ill-advised trade restrictions would do great harm to our extended steel supply chain, and impair the livelihoods of many men and women,” said AIIS President Richard Chriss in a recent post.
