Steel Tariff Country Exclusions Extended
Written by John Packard
Trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz provided Steel Market Update information regarding the White House decision made earlier this evening (Monday) regarding exclusions for various countries from the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs. Here is what Leibowitz had to say:
At about 10:00 PM on Monday evening (tonight), the White House announced that tariffs would not be imposed on those countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the EU, Korea and Mexico) on May 1. I have not seen an amended proclamation, but I expect one will be issued soon.
