NLMK’s Miller: ‘Slabs Need to be Carved Out’
Written by Tim Triplett
As a multinational business with a plant in the United States, should NLMK USA have a right to import slabs tariff-free from its parent company in Russia over the objections of domestic steel producers?
The Trump administration maintains that steel imports, including Russian slabs, are a threat to the U.S. steel industry and thus national security. Leading domestic steelmakers U.S. Steel and Nucor support that view and were among the objectors to NLMK’s request for an exemption from the Section 232 tariff.
