The comprehensive program of national security tariffs and other measures on steel imports put in place in 2018 allowed the American steel industry to restart idled mills, rehire laid-off workers and begin investing tens of billions of dollars in new and upgraded plants. Unfortunately, the effectiveness of those measures has been eroded in recent years and foreign steel overproduction has led to increased dumping of excess foreign steel production onto world markets, as well as widespread transshipment and diversion of steel from third countries. AISI applauds the president\u2019s actions to restore the integrity of the tariffs on steel and implement a robust and reinvigorated program to address unfair trade practices. America must have a sustainable, commercially viable steel industry to meet its national security needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>-####-<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact: Lisa Harrison<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>202.452.7115 \/\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:lharrison@steel.org\">lharrison@steel.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>AISI serves as the voice of the American steel industry in the public policy arena and advances the case for steel in the marketplace as the preferred material of choice.
