Calls for action from politicians in Wales after US imposes tariffs of 25% on steel by DisableSubredditCSS Tags:United KingdomWales 6 comments Trump is such an ass There isn’t sufficient steel production in the UK to satisfy our own needs let alone any other countries so why is this an issue. Reduce the Chinese imports and make sure UK steel stays in the UK at a cost effective price. No one in the US is going to want to buy the low grade steel produced by Electric Arc Furnaces. At Port Talbot we used to produce NAFTA grades for export but those customers will have gone elsewhere. How much Welsh steel is actually exported? I thought relatively little was produced and mainly for the domestic market. Pity Welsh politicians weren’t called to action when we still had the facility to make steel I thought welsh labour wanted the steel industry dead in wales…a sacrifice on the alter on net zero… Comments are closed.
