The strongest opposition to these tariffs came from U.S. manufacturers that use steel and aluminum in their products. Imposing tariffs on those raw materials was completely at odds with what the U.S. should be trying to do to support and grow its manufacturing base.

In some cases the tariffs were downright idiotic. Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey railed against them because they completely undermined manufacturers in his own state -- many of which import steel and aluminum from Canada and then export finished products like railroad equipment and aircraft parts back north.

It's thinking like yours and Toomey's that's the reason the steel mills are closed and bulldozed. I wonder how many underemployed folks in PA would've loved to still be working in the mill?

I know my uncle would.

The reason for the tariffs was to shut off steel imports of steel actually produced in China.

Mexico and Canada have obviously prevented the export of steel originally ladeled in China.
