US Steel is idling plants, despite tariffs designed to save them
My grandfather worked in a machine shop over 30 years ago. Even back then they worked mostly with imported product. According to him, the US steel was very low quality - aimed at industries that needed such huge amounts of it that shipping was expensive and quality wasn&#x27;t an issue.<p>If that is still the case, then demand for US steel is determined by infrastructure investment, not trade.
