The steel consuming industry had to roll back it's production, so we had less exports as our goods using steel became more expensive.

I don't doubt that, and never did. You are absolutely correct. Whatever the immediate effect the tariffs had on the steel consuming industries is unfortunate. But your statement does nothing to address the fact that government-subsidized steel was being dumped on our market at below cost, which was wiping out our steel PRODUCTION. You've said nothing at all about this. I'm waiting.
