The Steel Industry’s Available International Trade Remedies Will Not Alter Global Realities

Last week hearings were held in Washington, D.C. regarding the plight of the domestic steel industry, world over-capacity of steel production (with a special emphasis on China). During the hearings a number of trade remedies were mentioned such as Section 201 and Section 232 along with the antidumping and countervailing duty flat rolled steel trade cases already in process. We asked trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz to comment on what remedies are realistically available and what they mean for the steel industry. Mr. Leibowitz will be conducting a special “Pre-Summit” program on Monday, August 29th as part of our Steel Summit 2016.
