Six Months of Tariffs: Has US Steel Industry Bounced Back?
Section 232 tariffs came into effect on March 23, 2018. It’s been six months, so it’s a good time to see how they’ve impacted the US steel industry. When the tariffs were first announced, there were no exemptions on a country level. However, even before the tariffs came into effect, we saw exemptions for several regions, including NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) companies and the European Union.
