Trump just said the tariffs will not apply to steel coming into country as raw material

Trump’s response to the WTO would be “OK, I give in. Mexico and Canada get tariffs too.”

No. Germany accounts for 3%, and I’m sure there are others in the in 22% that are no in the top 10 import nations. But beyond EU South Korea (10%), Japan (5%); Taiwan (4%) are also in the top 10.
Look for POTUS Trump to drop the tariffs from countries that produce steel and aluminum directly except China.
China is being punished.
The rest of the world can get rewarded if they are not passing through Chinese steel and aluminum and receive exemptions.
Mexico and Canada who currently have the exemptions will have the tariffs apply if they continue the pass through practice.

Chinese steel already falls under U.S. duties tariffs and import controls. they will be less affected by this

But why?

Stocks don’t think the tariffs have much teeth

It's the pass thoughs that will hurt them. They have been avoiding the tariffs through pass throughs. China can't avoid the tariff now.

Donald J. Trump ?
@realDonaldTrump
China has been asked to develop a plan for the year of a One Billion Dollar reduction in their massive Trade Deficit with the United States. Our relationship with China has been a very good one, and we look forward to seeing what ideas they come back with. We must act soon!

@elonmusk
Do you think the US & China should have equal & fair rules for cars? Meaning, same import duties, ownership constraints & other factors.

Replying to @elonmusk @realDonaldTrump
For example, an American car going to China pays 25% import duty, but a Chinese car coming to the US only pays 2.5%, a tenfold difference

I am against import duties in general, but the current rules make things very difficult. It’s like competing in an Olympic race wearing lead shoes.

I'll withhold judgement to see if that is the case, but why not just single them out and maybe add SOKO.
