the E.U. countries, South Korea and Japan all competitively produce steel at lower production costs than we do here in the U.S. It is pretty idiotic to think that by slapping high tariffs on imported steel (thus prohibitively jacking up the price of steel) that this is somehow going to benefit the American people and American industry. It's not as though old, rusted out steel mills with ancient and antiquated 1960's technology and fabrication processes are going to be able to complete in the years 2026, 2027, 2028, etc. against the robotics employed in the modern 21st Century steel mills operating in the aforesaid foreign nations.
