The US domestic steel industry produces 72.5% of the steel we use. Our imports from Canada are 16% of the other 27.5%, or 4.4%. How much of that is proven Chinese dumping? Is it even worth the effort to stop? Don't we have bigger fish to fry than stopping people who are maliciously subsidizing our domestic production of goods?
