Dempsey made the following statement:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddressing the massive global excess capacity in steel, which is driven by foreign government industrial-targeting, subsidies and other market-distorting interventions, is one of the most critical issues facing the American steel industry today. This excess capacity is fueling a surge in Chinese steel exports that is very damaging to steel producers around the world, causing trade diversion and fueling transshipment through third-country markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAISI strongly supports Ambassador Greer\u2019s statement today before the ministerial meeting of the Global Steel Forum on Excess Capacity (GFSEC), and we echo his message that existing international trade rules have proved inadequate to discipline the policies and practices that have caused the global steel crisis. We particularly want to highlight the importance of Ambassador Greer\u2019s call for other governments to join with the United States to take action to address more fully excess capacity in the steel sector and its impacts on steel producers and workers in many regions of the world. We are pleased that GFSEC members have discussed a framework for joint action to address the root causes and effects of global excess steel capacity, and we applaud the strong leadership of Ambassador Greer and the Trump trade team in confronting this challenge head-on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">####<\/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><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">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.
