#Canada - Trump’s steel, aluminum tariff impacts start to build 1 month in

> The costs and chaos being caused by metal #tariffs are starting to build up after a month in effect, and there’s little hope they’ll be removed in the foreseeable future.

> U.S. President #DonaldTrump imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian #steel and #aluminum on March 12, raising significant concerns for a sector that exported around $35 billion of metal to the U.S. last year.

#making #sculptures that consist of several #elements had some practical reasons, as it facilitated the #handling, but it also allowed me to reconsider the #work after finishing it. This work derived from a small #leftover #metal #rack I found on the streets. The #enlargement resulted in #seven #parts that could be #connected but could also be shown individually or be rearranged in #relation to the #exhibition #space. Thereby the #sculpture unexpectedly became a set of #tools to me, opening up playful possibilities.

The problem with rescuing British Steel is whether the Govt. will mandate a 'buy British first' strategy for steel in the face of the price competition from a Chinese steel sector that not only dominates world production, but also over-produces for China's domestic demand & so exports at cost (or below cost?) to retain economies of scale?

However, China has been pretty active at the World Trade Organisation disputing measures intended to contain its steel exports.
