Summary
The U.S. checked if Korean steel companies Hyundai Steel and POSCO got unfair help from their government in 2022. They found that these companies did receive subsidies, which means extra charges (countervailing duties) will apply to their steel products sold in the U.S. This helps keep things fair for American steel makers and affects prices starting now.
