PITTSBURGH, Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/
United Steelworkers (USW) International President Tom Conway released the following statement in reaction to a last-minute Trump administration proclamation intended to grant the United Arab Emirates (UAE) the opportunity to ship state-supported aluminum products into the United States, effective Feb. 3, 2021. After reviewing Trump s action, President Biden stepped in and revoked it. President Trump s action as he was rushing for the White House door constituted a blatant attack on American workers. Section 232 restraints helped shore up sectors like aluminum that are vulnerable to unfair trade and clearly essential to our national defense. The USW supported the initiation of these efforts so that America s aluminum companies and their workers could meet our nation s national security and critical infrastructure needs.

The United Steelworkers (USW) union issued the following statement in response to today s decision by the International Trade Commission (ITC) to maintain anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain passenger vehicle and light truck (PVLT) tires imported from China:
The USW today welcomed the final results of the ITC s first sunset review of PVLT tires from China and hailed the decision as essential to protecting U.S. workers from the devastating effects of unfair trade. For too long, domestic tire makers have been forced to grapple Chinese efforts to undercut their products and undermine their jobs, said USW International President Tom Conway. It s essential that we continue holding bad actors to account, even as we take strategic, long-term steps to fix our broken trade system.

The Trump administration is launching the final salvos of its trade wars days before leaving office, threatening to undermine President-elect Joe Biden’s efforts to rebuild global alliances and curb China’s rise.
The U.S. Trade Representative announced in recent weeks new tariffs on European alcohol, on top of $1.3 billion in duties on French consumer goods that, for now, have been delayed. The agency could impose new tariffs on Vietnam before it leaves office, and that’s all added to the $350 billion worth of duties President Donald Trump has placed on China.
