Steel products such as line pipes, steel plates, steel profiles, casing pipe and tubing, and aluminum will be the target dump steel product, other commodities such as household appliances, may also become the target products. If the survey resulted in tax increase, this possibly increase the American consumer’s price. And it’s harmful to partial US company’s share price, especially the companies rely on Chinese cheap steel products. But for some US manufacturing company may have the benefit for this.
Trump will save American manufacturing industries and turn the business around, for the unfair trade action. A White House official said this is a part of actions. US government will take actions according by the survey result. The official said US government may not reflect for this, but also maybe will charge the additional tax.
