The US steel industry employs the most productive technology on the face of the planet.

Then why do you need to protect them from less productive producers?

America's enemies undermine our national security with trade policies that emphasize importation of cheaper, crap steel.

So, you'll protect steel consumers who want "cheaper, crap steel" because you're smarter than they are? If the cheaper steel is lower quality, some consumers will accept that price/quality trade off and some won't. You know, the free market. People coming together to voluntarily trade goods and services. Without Willie standing between them saying, "Wait, I don't think this is good for America"

Now please explain again, if you can, how expensive steel is good for America?

Then why do you need to protect them from less productive producers?

Because the federal government imposes regulatory burdens on the steel and mining industries (OSHA, EPA, etc.) that are not observed offshore.

People coming together to voluntarily trade goods and services.

There is nothing "voluntary" about it whatsoever.
The lopsided economics of international trade are dictated by corrupt bureacrats who negotiate misnamed "free" trade agreements.

"We are infinitely better off without treaties of commerce with any nation."
