And I’m pro EU, we’re backing ourselves into a corner though
Same goes for EVs, Tarriffs just to protect over priced VW’s
Meanwhile most of us struggle to afford to convert to an EV

That’s just stupid we see in the USA tariffs do not work they only hurt the customers and they do not bring back production

Once again, we are submitting to Trump who, like Russia, see EU as its ideological nemesis.
What could go wrong ?

Is this the price of the ‚Ukraine can win‘ and ‚Nato will shoot down Russian aircraft‘ tweets?

I think it was expected a long time ago.
The eu has classified steel an important resources and wants to protect it. It also make kind of sense.
The EU want to promote green steel and less carbon intensiv production but that could never compete with other region steel. Its also not a secret that china undervalues his rmb and gives his own companies a lot of benefits (subsidies etc.).
Now if every european steel company ‚deserve‘ such a protection is another question.

Ah, nice! The Netherlands wants to get rid of TATA Steel, and importing is becoming more expensive. Make a good, logical choice…
Last 20 years of panic football in the EU.

Obviously EU needs their own steel production as well as every critical resource. People seem to have forgotten what real economy is like, gotta produce stuff instead of focusing on all kinds of nonsense.
So yeah, they need to increase energy, resource, food etc. production in EU hesvily. Ironically there used to be a lot of it before they went into some kind of „postindustrial psychosis“

And why not on US steel?

I agree in principal but our economies aren’t doing great at the moment and making manufacturing even more expensive in the short run its sure to tank our economies even more, tldr: great move, wrong moment, this should have happened 5 years ago

One on side i do not like tariffs, on other we should not lose most of our steel production to a country founding or bigest enemy.

An absurdity to protect German steel industry/job program. German steel might be even more subsidized and protected than German auto. What advantage Europe has for steel? Does Europe have Australia’s immense iron supply at close hand? Does it have cheap energy or energy that can be subsidized with budget surpluses and low debt? Does it competitive wages to compete globally? Does it even have sizable steel production outside of Germany that can scale up? No steel in Europe is basically Russia then Turkey and Germany and neither of those two is in the EU. This is just contributing to German job program at the cost of making everything more expensive for the rest of the EU.

Great way to harm all other manufacturing sectors that rely on steel.
