    CRU: Canacero urges Mexico-US partnership to fend off Asian steel imports

    Written by CRU

    Victor Cairo, head of Mexico’s steel sector body Canacero and CEO of ArcelorMittal Mexico, says he is confident negotiations between the Mexican and US governments planned for April 2 will lead to the creation of a regional block to substitute imports, especially from Asia.

    “It is time to join efforts to eliminate the unfair practices that affect our nations and our industries. We want to work together, with a regional block to make a North America, to strengthen national and regional content,” he was quoted as saying in local media.

Plate prices were mostly firmer across APAC, stable to down in Europe, and continued climbing in the US.
