Biden calls for tripling tariffs on Chinese steel
WASHINGTON/PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania -- U.S. President Joe Biden called for the tripling of tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum on Wednesday, warning that an influx of artificially cheap Chinese products could hurt American workers if left unchecked.
"For too long, the Chinese government has poured state money into Chinese steel companies, pushing them to make so much steel," Biden said at the headquarters of United Steelworkers (USW) in Pittsburgh.
