Leibowitz: International Trade, Unilateral Action—the Future of Section 232

Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:

On an earnings call last week, Aditya Mittal, president and CFO of ArcelorMittal, the single largest steel producer in the world, stated that “Section 232 has been successful because it has spurred a lot of investment in the U.S. steel industry, so to backtrack [quickly from Section 232]…would be difficult for either candidate in the White House.”
