Only in a way that doesn’t compete with Diane Feinsteins steel mills in Shanghai. Of course tariffs on steel might make the Chinese mad, so we can’t have them.

As well as American auto companies and any other companies that use steel as a component of prouction would be mad too. And then their are the ports and shippers, they wouldn't be all that pleased too. Then there are the end consumers they wouldn't be happy either. But the steel workers would be happy.

We only imported about $5.4 billion in steel and steel mill products from China last year.
