How dare Donald Trump impose steel tariffs! It won't work and will hurt everyone. It's only OK when we do it.

the fact people still go to the chinese for "steel" is disgusting
Sebastian Taylor
Imposing such tariffs only hurts your own citizens and manufacturing industry, while benefituing only short-term goverment gains and steel producers.
Jaxson Campbell
Why? American steel melts when jumbo jets hit em
Sebastian Gutierrez
Unlike EU, Trump imposed tariffs on everyone. EU targeted one country that is dumping cheap steel into everyone's market.
Nice bait though, Sup Forums will gladyl take it.

how does china dump so much cheap steel

is this steel actually worse than our own?
or only seems so because it says "cheap" and "china"?

Trump's dumb moves are targeting his allies a lot more than those he said are hurting USA, i.e. China. If this will turn Europe away from those Zionist faggots from across the ocean, so much better. It's about time we say fuck off to Yankies.

You're completely wrong. EU imposes tariffs all over the place. OP image is just one example.
More examples for steel alone:
>The European Union has decided to set duties on hot-rolled steel from Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine
euractiv.com
And Trump's steel tariffs ARE on a country by country basis for those that agree to play nice. That's the whole fucking point.

There's nothing wrong with the steel. The EU impose tariffs to prop up it's own shitty steel companies who are unable to compete with the Chinks.

Cheap labor and no environmental regs means they can force their workers to smelt steel 80 hrs a week using the quickest and dirtiest methods. Doesn't even matter if 60% of all residents in nearby villages start developing lung and stomach cancer. Pay off the local governor and he'll send in the chengguan to make sure that anyone who dares to speaks up gets their face smashed with a brick.

that is one of the result from trumps tariffs on steel, eu fear that countries like brazil, india and china will now send there cheap steel to europe.
Ryder Watson
Chinese steel is pure garbage. If you ask for a specific type of steel, they'll deliver something that might resemble it, or not, and you are stuck with it because of Chinese trade laws.

Aaron Rivera
this must be bait
Hunter Johnson
Yes it is. I suspect much of what they export is seconds, and only the most common alloy steels. Their stainless steel is all substandard, but their carbon steels are fine.
Tyler Roberts
Actually there is shitton of ultimate garbage steel that comes from china. The specs almost never match up with what is actually ordered.
The reason behind import duties is the chinese government, they subvent the companies selling steel for cheap trying to establish position on the markets.
Christopher Smith
Fucking lol, do you know how many people they sacrifice to pull steel out of the ground?
>Import tonnes of steel

Aaron Foster
from what i know eu wants to rise it now more
Ryder Hughes
Let me put it to you this way. I was looking at second hand cars recently and there was visible rust on chinese vehicles less than 5 years old. Cars typically don't rust here. You might start looking for rust when you're buying a car that's 25+ years old. Atleast with Japanese imports, that's the case.

They are trying to play 4Dchess with Donald, but instead are throwing tic-tac-toe pieces all over the board like autists. Read:
>They are trying to distract and/or prove to Donald that they are on his side and China is a worthwhile target
They are floundering about trying to save their economy so the millions of niggers and "refugees" don't destroy half of Europe when the EU runs out of gibs for them.

You can use steel imported from China, but you need to run your own Kt tests and have a high level of inspection. Microstructural analysis + depth scan. The thing is, I don’t think it’s still financially viable at this point. Not for high level application at least. It’s good enough to make home fences out of it, I suppose.
Mason Kelly
What pedes fail to realize is that there are far more businesses that use steel as input than the number of steel industries.

And what are you gonna do about it fuckboi? Nobody except US can tariff us and even then we will hit the party states in the gut
Spread your cheeks and take off that proxy mutt
Brayden Anderson
By putting tariffs on them until they adopt environmental standards and worker protection laws so they're on a level playing field.
Gavin Green
Outside of regular S235 steel, the one where your the quality of your construction is irrelevant, they are absolutely terrible. They have no standards about the composition and process of manufacturing. If you need something calibrated or for a certain use, never buy chinese
Julian Lewis

Chink steel is terrible low quality. Any cheapskate company willing to buy it should be paying extra
Christopher Johnson
wtf is a slovak
Adrian Garcia
There is a difference. For one you have a natural ratio of alloying elements in the ore. Sweden and Canada can produce strong steel types cheaply due to this, China have to add alloying elements manually to replicate ratios naturally found in say Sweden.
Cheap Chinese steel is a weaker steel, and since it is cheap we can expect no effort has been made to strengthen the alloy. Just like Iberico, its just a pig.

yes.
it's crap allow mixed with cheaper metals that resembles steel
just try buying Chinese steel hammers or screw drivers or knives and watch how fast they break
watch how fast chinese "stainless steel" rusts and stains
Jace Gonzalez
You buy chinese cars? Not even mexicans buy chinese cars. Why would you risk your life?
Isaiah Morales
didnt adjust their production to the declining demand from the chinese building sector due to the slowing down of their economy growth.
so they dump their overproduced steel for cheap AF prices on the world markets. EU put on those tariffs to save their own Steel sector, which is a huge part of the european economy. Thing is back then steel from china was shit but nowadays those basic steel grades are nearly or on the same level as the EU steel, which hurts the economy a lot, especially if china using dumping prices.
So all in all those tariffs are a good thing. unlike the ones trump want to put up. The EU steelsector is highly specialized and the EU got the knowledge and means unlike the US to create highly specialized steel for the manufacturing industry. This shit still needs to be imported by the US and unfortunately the US will feel it that they fucked up, because the EU will also impose Tariffs and US continuously lose soft power
Jaxon Brooks

I work in the field of chemical transportation on inland waterways and we are not allowed to outfit our barges with Chinese steel. We have had deaths due to stress fractures on the mooring bits and incidents where cavels have lept off the deck under tension and taken people's heads off. The Chinese are a horrible people and deserve to be eradicated, almost as much as the jews.
Nathaniel Kelly
The problem is not America nor is it the EU. The problem is China running everybody out of business by dumping their prices.
If this happened in a country and not internationally, you'd call it an "illegal cartel" and move to destroy it.

A) We buy their cheap steel, use their cheep steel to build shit, sell shit.
B) We make our own steel at great expense, we use it build less shit, sell less shit at a far less competitive price.
Which do you think is better for the economy?
William Lewis
if you just want to maximize profit its clearly A)
but you have to think about the hundred of thousands if not million jobs that are in the EU steel industry.
Its way more important to give these people salaries for their spending capacity than to give them social benefits.
Ayden Torres

We used to have rust issues with the jap cars when they'd send them over on boats. Now they're built here and don't see the ocean salt. To counter this we dump shit tons of salt on the road every winter so everyone's cars start to rust. Win win win, so tired of winning
David Butler
>Give these people salaries for their spending capacity than to give them social benefits.
Not really. If these people were worth the price of subsidising an entire industry and hampering many others with high steel prices they'd be starting their own businesses rather than relying on less than minimum wage as gibs.

Ian Torres
Not an argument.
Chase Ortiz
well its obvious that you simply dont know what you are talking about...
first of all, not everyone can start their own business or even want to start their own business, due to reasons like missing IQ or dont want to have the responsability.
furthermore relying 100% on foreign steel makes you dependent... what will happen if china suddenly need that overproduced steel again because they have a growth boom?
your suggestion will only lead to a wider wealth gap, the higher ups earn more money because they dont have to pay western wages and for the production + safety and the workers will lose their jobs and face existential problems which leads to general dissatisfication among the population maybe a rise in crime and expenses due to welfare
Landon Fisher
You understand that this is literally a country where a company was willing to poison infants to push their profit margins slightly, right?
There have been a lot of fraud problems when it comes to Chinese steel, mostly revolving around companies selling shit with a lot more impurities than it's supposed to have.
There are some things you can buy form China and be relatively sure that you're getting something that's good quality. DJI makes some of the best drones on the market. Building materials and food, however, are not on that list.
Xavier Carter
You lose them when someone who could be using his money to create jobs has to pay overpriced metals instead.
