Stop Mexico’s Steel Surge Act
This bill would require the U.S. to reimpose tariffs on steel imports from Mexico that were in effect before May 2019. The tariffs must remain in place for at least one year, and the U.S. Trade Representative and Commerce Secretary must certify that Mexico has fixed its trade practices before lifting them. The President may also add import limits to return steel imports from Mexico to pre-2019 trade levels. The bill directly affects Mexican steel exporters and aims to address claims that Mexico violated a 2019 trade agreement.
