The Steel Manufacturers Association is asking President-elect Donald Trump to curtail current Section 232 quota restrictions and to end Section 232 exemptions for some Mexican products, to expand Section 232 to more downstream products, and greatly narrow exclusions to the tariffs.
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted a threat on Nov. 30 that he had earlier made on the campaign trail -- that he will impose 100% tariffs on exports from countries who try to create a workaround to trading in dollars, the world's reserve currency.
If President Trump were to impose 25% tariffs on all Mexican and Canadian imports, because he believes those countries are not doing enough to stop migration and drug trafficking, no industry would be hurt more than the auto industry.
