Imports of steel from China account for only about 0.6% of total U.S. steel demand, according to a senior Biden administration official. As a result, the White House does not believe raising the steel tariffs risks further increasing inflation, which has remained high despite recent economic gains.

If Chinese steel imports are such a small proportion of US steel demand, then how can the lower priced Chinese steel be having such a negative effect on US steel production?

Left wing voters don’t care about the candidate as long as he wins. Biden is senile but they don’t care because he will implement their agenda.
