AISI: House Bill Aims to Stop Repeat Offenders of U.S. Trade Laws

The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) praised a new bipartisan bill designed to crack down on trade cheating and enhance the tools available to combat repeat offenders of U.S. trade remedy laws.

The “Eliminating Global Market Distortions to Protect American Jobs Act of 2021” – also referred to as “The Level the Playing Field Act 2.0” – was introduced by U.S. Reps. Terri Sewell (D-Ala.) and Bill Johnson (R-Ohio), and is the House companion legislation to the Senate version introduced earlier this year.
