Subsidized steel prompts major tariffs and warns of trade war
The Reagan era Commerce Department ruled that steelmakers in nine countries face import duties equal to their subsidies, a bold move to curb unfair competition that could trigger retaliatory tariffs and a global recession. American steel mills sit at 42 percent capacity as layoffs mount, while coal suffers in tandem. If foreign producers price imports to reflect true production costs, relief may come. otherwise, decisive action remains. Lawrence Welk's final TV show concludes a long, late-blooming career, ending an era for a music institution and its devoted fans.
