President Biden heads to Pittsburgh, calls for higher steel tariffs
President Joe Biden is expected to call for higher tariffs to combat Chinese practices in the aluminum and steel industries while in Pittsburgh Wednesday at the United Steelworkers headquarters during an economic-focused blitz through the battleground state of Pennsylvania. President Biden will call on the office of the United States Trade Representative to consider tripling tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports; direct work with Mexico to prevent tariff evasion; announce the United States Trade Representative will investigate Chinas trade practices in shipbuilding, maritime and logistics; and maintain support for domestic ownership of U.S. Steel. Chinas policy driven over capacity poses a serious risk to the future of the American steel and aluminum industry. China cannot export its way to recovery.

United States Trade Representative Ambassador Katherine Tai hinted the review could be finished soon. We are making progress and it is my belief we are very close to the conclusion of this review, Tai told lawmakers Tuesday. Following a petition from five labor unions, including the USW, the United States Trade Representative will also start an investigation on ships. Senior administration officials found the petition extensive and raised a number of significant concerns related to Chinas practices. Brainard called the actions a …
