That’s according to recent statements from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and the Commerce Department.
Several steel trade organizations have called on President Trump to resist weakening Section 232 steel tariffs.

After an annual administrative review, the Commerce Department increased the anti-dumping duties on large-diameter welded pipe from Turkey.
The US Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that critical circumstances exist in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of large-diameter graphite electrodes (LDGEs) from China.
The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) is pressing President Donald Trump to raise the issue of China’s steel exports and industry subsidies during his upcoming summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
