Status Report on Complex Trade Issues
Written by Tim Triplett
With so many trade issues under debate in Washington, it’s difficult to keep up. Trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz provided Steel Market Update with the following summation:
• KORUS Negotiations: As part of the renegotiation of the Korea-U.S. free trade agreement (KORUS), the Trump administration has granted South Korea a permanent exemption from the steel tariffs that went into effect on March 23. The other exempt countries still have until May 1 to secure a longer-term exemption or their imports will be covered as of that date, unless the president grants a further delay.
