AHRI, construction groups wary of new steel and aluminum taxes
President Donald Trump’s decision Thursday to enact steel tariffs on the importing of foreign steel and aluminum has a number of HVAC and construction industry groups criticizing the decision.
Within two weeks, the metals from countries other than Mexico and Canada will carry new taxes of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum. The president said the levies will strengthen an industry that has been battered by unfair international competition, especially from China.
