Section 232 tariffs have been bad for American manufacturers
A statement from the Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users.
The Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users (CAMMU) is encouraged by the termination of Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs on Mexico and Canada and urges the Trump Administration to terminate the remaining 232 tariffs as quickly as possible. At the one year anniversary of full implementation of these tariffs, more and more U.S. steel-using manufacturers are reporting lost business and business opportunities, and are experiencing long delivery times for steel from their U.S. suppliers because the domestic steel industry cannot meet demand.
However, CAMMU is very concerned about potential new tariffs on Mexico that would include all products. We are opposed to these tariffs as a tariff is a tax paid by U.S. companies that erodes their competitiveness.
