In 2017 US imports $29 Billion worth of steel.

Largest importer of steel in the world. 25% tariff will cost steel buyers $7,250,000,000. Canada is largest supplier for US steel. US steel makers will not be able to up production for several years...would you bother, knowing that Trump may change his mind next week?
