Steel tariffs likely to be 'benign reality': worldsteel exec

摘要

As the initial shock of proposed 25% tariffs on steel imports into the US has eased, the World Steel Association's top official said Tuesday he believes they're likely to be "a relatively benign reality." "The initial thoughts were that it could have a big impact, but with the way reality is turning out now, with the exclusions given to most of the importers into the USA … it shows me we're still in the phase of posturing," worldsteel Director General Edwin Basson said during a media briefing in London.
