China produces 822 million tons of steel each year. That’s more than the next 15 largest steel producers combined.

Our presidents have most always had the authority to impose tariffs in such circumstances. I don't know the details and and I doubt Americans do, but a lot more could be done than has been done in past decades.

Some of the authority might have been surrendered in some trade agreements, or might be in the future. Those are things our politicians don't like to talk about.

I wish Trump would get into some factual details about what our president is empowered to do now and put that in his speeches.

I think we should produce everything that does into all our military equipment and material and assembly it all here.

This is how China produced steel until the US and the developed world decided to give them the business and the technology to enter the modern age.

Amen !
If there's a way to adulterate steel the Chinese will do it.
I would never trust any Chinese product in a critical role, bridges, towers, defense. Crazy if we do.
We haven't learned our lesson with foodstuffs yet. Really crazy.

increasingly, material Test Reports require “Country of Melt”

project specifiers are rejecting steel with country of melt other than North America, Europe and Japan
