producers of steel and aluminum in the united states who have been unable to compete successfully with the rest of the world and now want protection in the form of tariffs so they can raise their prices and yes as you point out this will help hire workers in those industries which is what the president talks about but it will damage employment in all the industries that buy steel and aluminum which is many because they will face higher prices for their inputs and that will cause all kinds of difficulties leading to layoffs meanwhile people are talking about global trade implications that's not really the issue because this is a fight between two sets of capitalists in each country trying to maneuver the government to their own advantage. and i doubt if they are a step ahead yanmar sends troops to its border with bangladesh triggering fears of
