Expressing Strong Support for Steel Tariffs

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my strong support for the continuation of section 232 steel tariffs for our domestic manufacturers, our workforce, and our national security.

Indiana's First Congressional District is home to an incredible foundation of steelworkers and the American steel producers who create products that are essential not just to the strength of our national economy but also to our national security.

It is necessary that the American steel industry has a level playing field in our global economy so that our innovative companies and skilled workforce can continue to lead the world in manufacturing the most environmentally friendly and efficiently produced steel.

As co-chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus, we have been actively expressing our strong support for the continuation of section 232 steel tariffs. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues and members of the administration to advocate for the value of these current tariffs and ensure that we all recognize how unfair trade and global steel overcapacity negatively impact our Nation's future.
