Trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz will be the next speaker for our SMU Community Chat webinar. The free webinar will be held at 11 AM ET on Wednesday, June 3.
The pandemic has not stopped Section 232, anti-dumping and countervailing duties and other trade remedies enjoyed by the domestic steel mills. There is also the new USMCA agreement with Mexico and Canada, as well as the China trade deal. Then there is the exclusion process related to the Section 232 tariffs. There is much to cover, so please come join us next Wednesday, June 3rd as Mr. Leibowitz sits down to have a one-on-one chat with John Packard, President & CEO of Steel Market Update.

SMU Community Chat: Wednesday With AGC Chief Economist Ken Simonson
We’ll have a lot to talk about because construction is at the intersection of so many of today’s hot-button issues. The main question: Will construction thrive or dive in the rest of ’25? (Nothing wrong with a rhyme, even in serious times.)
