Leibowitz on Trade: China, NAFTA, Autos in Play
Written by Tim Triplett
Lewis Leibowitz, trade attorney and contributor to Steel Market Update, offers the following update on trade issues in Washington, including China, NAFTA, and a new Section 232 investigation on automotive imports:
• The White House reported that 25 percent tariffs on $50 billion worth of imports from China will be announced by June 15, and will go into effect “shortly thereafter.” This seems to put an end to the “truce” on trade actions with China. China has already announced potential retaliatory tariffs against U.S. exports to China.
