Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
As expected, Wilbur Ross and the U.S. Department of Commerce submitted the Section 232 report on steel on Thursday evening. The much-anticipated report, originally “due” back in June 2017 (at President Trump’s request), beat the technical timeline by a couple of days. The White House did not release the recommendations reported and does not have to do so until the president makes his decision, which is due within 90 days from the delivery of the report.
Following up closely behind the steel report will be a separate Section 232 investigation report on aluminum. The aluminum report is due in about a week’s time.
