The major companies in Australia are majority held by, the largest shareholder, is China,
The damage will extend beyond just the steel and aluminum sectors, impacting all businesses that rely on these materials throughout the supply chain,
Foreign customers are shifting their supply chains away from U.S. producers. Once removed, especially for smaller, family-owned businesses, it is difficult to regain that lost business,
I deeply regret the US decision to impose tariffs on European steel and aluminum exports,
We are the US’s closest ally. Our economies are integrated. Canadian steel and aluminum are used in a number of key US industries, whether it is defence, shipbuilding, manufacturing, energy, automotive,
Small businesses run on very small margins. And so a 25-percent increase in any product is going to hurt,
The reality is, though, our suppliers have international sources for aluminum steel. So that price will come through and it may be a speculative part in the market where price would come up because the tariffs are even rumored.”
Tariffs such as these do nothing to enhance the automotive industry directly,
Steel producers have to find ways to increase capacity, and aluminum and steel might be in short supply in the short term,
We’re concerned about the downstream effects on consumer products like automobiles,
Industries like automotive have built their entire financial plan based on sourcing products where they can; locally, if it’s possible, globally, if it makes the most sense,
Trump may ask Korea to increase investments in the U.S. automotive and semiconductor industries, given his warning of imposing universal tariffs on those sectors,
Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy highlights the importance of deepening engagement with Korea and other key partners in the region,
Although there exist concerns about decline in steel exports to the U.S., opportunity factors also persist as Korea can compete with other major steel exporters under the same conditions,
Increasing and persistently high import volumes from countries exempted from the duties or subject to other alternative agreements like quotas and tariff-rate quotas have captured the benefit of U.S. demand at the domestic industry’s expense and transmitted harmful effects onto the domestic industry,
In my judgment, the arrangements with these countries have failed to provide effective, long-term alternative means to address these countries' contribution to the threatened impairment to the national security,
It’s a big deal. This is the beginning of making America rich again,
If we have more imports of steel and aluminum from the United States [than exports] what is being argued as the reason to impose tariffs is not logical,
Therefore their balance is favorable. … The numbers are in their favor. We import more than we export,
Sometimes President Trump speaks about common sense, we’ll take him at his word — common sense, not a shot in the foot, not destroying what we have built in the past 40 years,
