Diamond Member Pelican Press 0 Posted April 17, 2024 Diamond Member Share Posted April 17, 2024 Biden aims to triple tariffs on ******** steel and aluminum imports Biden campaigns as Trump trial continues Biden looks to capitalize on campaigning as Trump trial continues 02:57 President Biden is in Pennsylvania Wednesday to call for the tripling of tariffs on ******** steel and aluminum imports, as well as protections for the U.S. steel and aluminum industry. At the U.S. Steelworkers headquarters in Pittsburgh Wednesday, the Pennsylvania-born president is urging the U.S. trade representative, Katherine ****, to consider tripling the existing 7.5% tariff rate on ******** steel and aluminum imports. ********* workers face “unfair competition” from ******** imports, and high-quality U.S. products are undercut by “artificially low-priced” ******** alternatives that use higher emissions, the White House says. The Biden administration is also pursuing anti-dumping investigations against countries that try to saturate markets with ******** steel, and the U.S. is working with Mexico to make sure ******** companies can’t avoid tariffs by shipping steel there first. **** is also launching an investigation into China’s practices in the maritime, shipbuilding and logistics sectors, the White House says. The announcement comes amid the planned ***** of U.S. Steel to the *********-owned Nippon Steel, which the president strongly opposes. As the president continues his three-day swing through Scranton, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, his campaign is launching a six-figure, five-day ad blitz highlighting Mr. Biden’s pro-labor stances. Pennsylvania is a battleground state this November, with former President Donald Trump and Mr. Biden neck-and-neck in polls. “Scranton values or Mar-a-Lago values,” Mr. Biden said during a speech in Scranton Tuesday, referencing Trump’s luxurious Florida resort. “These are the competing visions for our economy, and they raise questions of fundamental fairness at the heart of his campaign.” — Bo Erickson contributed to this report Kathryn Watson Kathryn Watson is a politics reporter for CBS News Digital based in Washington, D.C.
