That's what the US steel industry is saying. They can't compete because the foreign subsidies are unfair. They are saying they can compete, given equal footing.


>There are areas of manufacturing where we cannot compete such as steel manufacturing. Our equipment is old and our quality is low. Do we want our "Battleships" made with inferior steel? No! Just pay the tariff and continue using steel made in Poland to make our Navel vessels. We have been doing this for the last 20 years - why stop now? In fact close down all steel manufacturers in this country and just pay them to do nothing. That would do us a service. If you cannot compete go home!
