I disagree with giving any company special treatment or exemptions. The whole purpose of tariffs is to create a level playing field for US businesses to compete with our international trading partners. Giving exemptions gives those companies an unfair advantage. This is wrong now, just as it was wrong for some, but not all, businesses to have been exempted from Obamacare. I do not want to see Trump pulling an Obama and giving breaks to his friends and donors and using the law to punish others.

Well, Duh....
They are a Turkish company in the business of importing steel. What did you think would happen?!
The point is that imposing a tariff on an intermediary product like steel will end up costing other jobs. GWB did this in 2003. Analysis shows more jobs were lost that the entire count of U.S. steel workers.
Trump told G7 to drop all tariffs and subsidies in all countries. They weren't interested in fairness. Why should they be when they are getting the best of us?

Average tariffs are 2.9%. Existing tariffs are a boogey man.
