A surge in steel imports from Mexico hasn’t gone unnoticed by members of the U.S. Senate.
Fourteen of them, led by Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), are urging the Biden administration to press the Mexican government to adhere to a 2019 agreement requiring it monitor its steel and aluminum exports to the U.S. to prevent surges in these metals.
This agreement was the result of negotiations that removed Mexico and Canada from the Trump administration’s Section 232 national security action that imposed tariffs of 25% on all steel imports and 10% on all aluminum imports.
