Trump’s steel tariffs will wreck Wales’ post-Brexit steel industry
Trump’s steel tariffs, due to come into force tomorrow, pose an existential threat to the Welsh steel industry with 9,000 jobs at risk. In response to the threat facing Welsh steel, Best for Britain champion Madeleine Moon MP added:
“Welsh steel is being assailed from all sides. The Westminster government has failed to match the £60 million grant from the Welsh government and now Trump’s tariffs are threatening to lead the steel industry back into crisis.
“This is a wake up call and a look into the future we face if Brexit goes ahead. We have a tight relationship with our allies in the EU, yet this government is tearing us away from them just as Trump is making a mockery of our so-called special relationship. That’s why I back a people’s vote on the terms of Brexit, including an option to remain in the EU.”
