In March 2018, Trump imposed 25 percent tariffs on imported steel and 10 percent tariffs on imported aluminum. Argentina, Australia, Brazil and South Korea were exempted from the tariffs. Canada and Mexico were also exempted starting in May, Reuters reported.
Trump cited national security as the reason to implement the tariffs under section 232 of the 1962 Trade Expansion Act.

Not sure what caused it and I am not complaining.
Scrap car bodies are approaching historical lows price wise.
Locally it’s 45 a ton. I have been told next month will be worse.
If there is no demand for new steel it shows in the scrap steel market first.
I just stack um until it comes back up.

“As of March 28, 2019, the steel tariffs collected have exceeded $4.5 billion" Hey, that's the amount the Democrats said they couldn't afford for extra border security. 👩🏫
