Written by Sandy Williams
Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted that new tariffs would be imposed on U.S. imports from China, an escalation of the trade war that was launched in July 2018. The new tariffs, on most of the products not already covered by tariffs on China, will cover approximately $300 billion in imports. The initial rate will be 10 percent of value.
