Leibowitz: Supreme Court Denies Hearing on Section 232—What’s to Come

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

On Monday, the Supreme Court announced its decision not to take the case of American Institute for International Steel (AIIS) v. United States, a case challenging the constitutionality of Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended. This effectively ends the challenge on that ground to Section 232. Other challenges are still around and are likely to result in court decisions this year and next.
