More broadly, President Trump's state commitment to respond to any retaliatory tariffs creates uncertainty in the global economy,
The US president agreed that an exemption was under consideration in the interests of both of our countries,
The major companies in Australia are majority held by, the largest shareholder, is China,
In steel, we expect higher domestic prices, however, low capacity utilization rates and growing steelmaking capacity could keep a lid on price gains,
It's 25% without exceptions or exemptions. That's all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries,
The damage will extend beyond just the steel and aluminum sectors, impacting all businesses that rely on these materials throughout the supply chain,
Foreign customers are shifting their supply chains away from U.S. producers. Once removed, especially for smaller, family-owned businesses, it is difficult to regain that lost business,
I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports,
We are the US’s closest ally. Our economies are integrated. Canadian steel and aluminum are used in a number of key US industries, whether it is defence, shipbuilding, manufacturing, energy, automotive,
Small businesses run on very small margins. And so a 25-percent increase in any product is going to hurt,
The reality is, though, our suppliers have international sources for aluminum steel. So that price will come through and it may be a speculative part in the market where price would come up because the tariffs are even rumored.”
Steel producers have to find ways to increase capacity, and aluminum and steel might be in short supply in the short term,
Tariffs such as these do nothing to enhance the automotive industry directly,
We’re concerned about the downstream effects on consumer products like automobiles,
Industries like automotive have built their entire financial plan based on sourcing products where they can; locally, if it’s possible, globally, if it makes the most sense,
Trump may ask Korea to increase investments in the U.S. automotive and semiconductor industries, given his warning of imposing universal tariffs on those sectors,
Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy highlights the importance of deepening engagement with Korea and other key partners in the region,
Although there exist concerns about decline in steel exports to the U.S., opportunity factors also persist as Korea can compete with other major steel exporters under the same conditions,
Increasing and persistently high import volumes from countries exempted from the duties or subject to other alternative agreements like quotas and tariff-rate quotas have captured the benefit of U.S. demand at the domestic industry’s expense and transmitted harmful effects onto the domestic industry,
From my vantage point, the bombastic rhetoric, the damage has already been done,
