Executive heads of the largest steel companies in the United States and concerned groups called on US president Donald Trump to impose a procedure urgent trade to reduce the excess production capacity of steel and increase imports that they say undermines American industry. In a speech, the American Institute of Iron and Steel called for urgent action under Article 232 of the US Trade Act 1962, which allows restrictions on the protection of national security. We call for a comprehensive and broad-based reform that covers all core resources of imports and steel products. " Of the entire steel, the only exception is the products currently available in the United States. "The speech is the second in five months from the Trump steel sector, which has promised to protect US steel workers from imports and has ordered an investigation into the import of steel from abroad under article 232," he said. The results of the investigation were delivered to Trump last month and was 90 days to respond.
