Join SMU for a Community Chat next Wednesday featuring Lewis Leibowitz, a veteran trade attorney and one of our most-read columnists.
The webinar will be on Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. ET. It’s free to attend. You can register here.

Note that while the live webinar is free, a recording will be available only to SMU subscribers. So reach out to us at info@steelmarketupdate.com if you don’t subscribe but would like to.
Leibowitz always brings interesting ideas to the table – whether you agree with them or not. He represents steel consumers and often provides a counterpoint to domestic steel producers’ perspectives. We’ll discuss points of agreement too. Like efforts to contain burgeoning exports from China (limited but not excluded steel products).
We’ll also talk about trade policy: From the coated trade case and USMCA to tariffs and the limits of presidential powers when it comes to trade. We’ll delve into the upcoming election as well. What would a win for former President Trump mean for steel? What about a victory for Vice President Harris?
And we’ll also take your questions – so make sure to bring some good ones to the Q&A.
Editor’s note: You can see all of our upcoming Community Chats – including one on Nov. 13 at 11 a.m. ET with Wolfe Research Managing Director Timna Tanners – here.
