USW: Section 232 Tariff on Imported Canadian Steel is 'Unacceptable'
06/01/2018 - The United Steelworkers union slammed the Trump administration for imposing the 25% tariff on imported Canadian steel, saying that it is unacceptable to subject America’s closest ally to a measure pegged to national security.
“This decision … calls into serious question the design and direction of the Administration's trade policy. Section 232 relief is founded on national security interests and U.S. law. Our history shows that there is no stronger ally and partner on national security than Canada,” the union said in a statement.
“In recent days, it has become increasingly difficult to understand the reasoning behind certain decisions and policies. The regular chaos surrounding our flawed trade policies is undermining the ability to project a reasoned course and ensure that we can improve domestic production and employment.”
