Why are they using a tariff and a lower quota instead of just a lower quota for the imported steel?

Tariffs to protect national production….sounds a bit Trumpian

I wont comment on the efficacy of tariffs but.
Wouldn’t a better solution be to spur more consumption of steel?

Ridiculous strategy. If steel is not profitable to produce in the UK, we should not be producing steel.

Just to clarify. We have a very small steel industry, if we don’t do something we may lose it. If we lose it then tanks and guns and aircraft and ships and all those tools we use to keep the island safe wouldn’t be able to be built here at all. If it all goes tits up then Russia just has ask china to stop selling it us.
The only other option to keep supplies would be to improve the supply route from Australia or Canada. A 21st century battle for the Atlantic would not end well for us.
