Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Section 232 steel and aluminum agreement that President Biden's administration has reached with the European Union.
This agreement is critical as a safeguard for national security, to restore and improve our transatlantic alliances, and bolster the American steel and aluminum industries that serve as the backbone of this country.
Establishing a level playing field through robust enforcement mechanisms will ensure that American companies are able to compete in the marketplace, not forced to contend with the cheaper and shoddier metals dumped around the globe by China and others.
President Biden is delivering for domestic manufacturers and our union brothers and sisters who build up America. Together, we will continue our work to create the good-paying middle class jobs our families deserve. Let us rebuild our communities with the innovation and ingenuity that only American industries can produce.
