Governor Mike Pence is backing U.S. Steel in calls for an investigation into China’s steel industry.
That’s after the federal government imposed new tariffs on China last week — a move some steelworkers say doesn’t go far enough.
Last month, U.S. Steel asked the U.S. International Trade Commission for a total ban on Chinese steel imports, saying practices overseas have cost thousands of American jobs.
China outpaces the U.S. 10 to 1 in steel production, using government subsidies to stay afloat even while losing money exporting the excess.
