Summary
The U.S. found that steel products from 11 countries, including Brazil, Canada, and Vietnam, are hurting American steel makers by being sold too cheaply or getting unfair government help. Because of this, the government will keep or add special duties (extra taxes) on these imports to protect U.S. steel jobs and businesses. These changes kick in soon and could affect prices and availability of steel products in the U.S.
