Steel and manufacturing groups rally behind trade law reform bill

The Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0 has been reintroduced into both houses of Congress, and a consortium of industry associations is pushing for quick action.

The Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) spearheaded the initiative this week with a letter to Congressional leaders, urging action on the legislation aimed at strengthening US trade laws to combat China’s unfair trade practices.
