From what I've heard on news networks (including but not limited to FNC), lifting the tariff will actually help a lot of small businesses who use steel in their manufacturing. They were, I guess, paying a lot more for steel while the tariffs were in place.

Bush did the prudent thing. He gave the steel industry 22 months to get their act together.
My son works in a steel mill in Northern Kentucky, but lives in Ohio and is a carpenter by trade. I can't see him voting for a Democrat, ever.
