Interesting conclusions: 1. Adding capacity without creating the requisite demand comes back to hurt. 2. Protectionism is like steroids and gives a false sense of bravado to add capacity. 3. Electric Arc Furnace based steel mills…https://t.co/EmWDIq7Bzm https://t.co/M22h8gyygN

Good, and easy to win... "Since Trump announced the tariffs 16 months ago, U.S. Steel has lost almost 70% of its market value, or $5.5 billion, and idled two American furnaces that couldn’t be run profitably at the lowest prices since 2016." https://t.co/YZGcQdEsS7

2-The Trump Tariff Twist That Has Cost U.S. Steel $5.6 Billion. Again US Steel has not lost $5.6B as misleading headline suggests. Changes in market value r not losses in revenue or profits. Earnings have improved significantly from tariff & other actions. https://t.co/QZwwHqcP40

Hog cycle: Trump’s tariffs had paradoxical effect in expanding supply of steel and prompting modernization at expense of US Steel the largest incumbent with out of date blast furnaces. It has lost 70% of its market value since tariffs announced!https://t.co/CH30f1yXV4 pic.twitter.com/luWqTuDnXT

1-#Steel tariffs r working as planned 2 reduce imports but they need 2 come down even more.Continued cheating via transshipment thru 3rd countries & deliberate mis-identification have reduced their effectiveness. Bloomberg Headline misleading as usual! https://t.co/QZwwHqcP40

Curious whether steel workers in Illinois have changed their thinking about Trump after tariffs cost U.S. Steel $5.5 Billion. Competitiveness needs investment, innovation and green modernisation (repurpose, reuse, recycle) not bailouts, subsidies & tariffs https://t.co/zjzmzZvUJK

Hmmm. This sounds like the #Trump #metals #tariffs helped fuel the process of creative destruction. Which #freemarket types are supposed to like: https://t.co/nKqz1GS0DD #steel #trade #manufacturing Cc @DanRDimicco
