President Trump has launched an investigation – to be led by commerce secretary Wilbur Ross – into Chinese steel, stating that dependence on steel imports from China may threaten national security. “[Those challenges] accomplished some measure of reduction, but it doesn’t solve the whole problem,” Ross said in a briefing for reporters. It will ascertain whether there will be enough US-produced steel to build naval ships and army tanks in wartime. The US is the world’s largest consumer of steel.
