Leibowitz on Trade: Tariffs Due Friday on Chinese Imports

Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:

As President Trump tweeted this past Sunday, the U.S. Trade Representative has issued a notice that List Three of the tariffs on Chinese imports will be subject to 25 percent tariffs effective 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Friday, May 10. The notice appeared in the Federal Register today. The wording of the notice is a bit unusual.
