-consequences-for-manufacturers
By Megan HenneyPublished April 13, 2018
American steel prices have skyrocketed since President Donald Trump imposed
steel tariffs in early March, an unintended consequence for some U.S.
companies, which are now paying almost double what they once did for the
metal.
Howard Steel, a Charlotte-based company that manufactures gas lines,
structural steel and equipment for job sites, used to pay about 38 cents for
a pound of raw materials from domestic steel producers.
Now, thanks to the tariffs, the company pays about 68 cents per pound for
the same material, Howard Steel owner James Howard told FOX Business’ Liz
Claman during an interview on Friday.
“As soon as they even talked about a tariff, we were getting price
increases, and they were rapidly going up,” Howard said. “What you bought
one day, three days later, even that price had gone up. There was nothing
consistent. We still haven’t reached the apex, and I don’t know where it’
s at.”
Trump argued the tariffs -- 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum -- were
intended to protect U.S. industries from unfair competition and to bolster
national security, one of his main promises during the 2016 presidential
campaign.
Critics, however, warn that tariffs will raise the cost of steel and
aluminum and make products such as automobiles and canned beer more
expensive.
The tariffs are likely to keep driving up domestic metal prices, which have
already been on the rise since the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2017.
According to a report in Reuters, U.S. steel mills typically adjust prices
once a year. In 2018, they’ve already adjusted the price four times.
“The way I feel about it, in theory it’s a good idea,” Howard said. “But
I hate to say this, sometimes we can be our own worst enemy, and there’s a
little bit of greed that goes through there. Anytime you get these price
increases, and the orders are still coming in, well they’re just going to
give you another price increase.” | n****e

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/12/business-execs-voice-worries-about-the-
impact-of-tariffs.html
An array of business executives are expressing alarm to federal lawmakers
Thursday about the impact that tariffs will have on their business.
Kevin Kennedy, president of a steel fabrication business in Texas, says
tariffs on steel and aluminum imports have led U.S. steel producers to raise
their prices by 40 percent. He says that's shifting work to competitors
outside the U.S.
Kennedy says what was presented as a tariff on foreign steel has effectively
become a tax on U.S. manufactures such as his company.
Kennedy is appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee, which is
examining the impact of tariffs.
Lawmakers later Thursday are scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump
to talk about trade.
China has countered by announcing its own set of tariffs on U.S. products.

这是说，卖钢材的因有关关税的原因大幅提了价，所以买钢材的就直接的承受了关税所
带来的大幅提价，
嗯，贸易战嘛，有人得利，自然也是有人失利咯，也属正常

都已经被豁免了，美国钢铁企业涨价就没道理了。难道这些企业串通涨价？

主要进口国是豁免了，可能成本有所变动就势而提了价，美国钢铁企业想必也以这个理
由跟着提价了吧
