The US Supreme Court's move to quash the Trump administration’s “reciprocal” import tariffs left the 50% Section 232 tariffs on steel intact, but its effects could be far-reaching, a new MEPS podcast concludes. 

Steel market analyst Laura Hodges and Jon Carruthers-Green join MEPS’s managing editor Tom Sharpe to discuss the future of US tariffs in the latest 30-minute episode of the Speaking of Steel podcast.  

Watch or listen to the latest episode of the Speaking of Steel podcast via YouTube or Spotify to hear the tariff-themed discussion on: 

• The alternative trade measures that could replace the United States' IEEPA-based tariffs. 
• How many previously agreed US trade deals are now “null and void”. 
• Section 232 tariffs’ inflationary effect on US steel prices and the positive outcome for domestic steelmakers. 
• The gap between US steel prices, and those in Europe and Asia, which is capping the scope for further increases.
