Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Tuesday urged the Trump administration to take a more “surgical” and “targeted” approach to its plan to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, and zero in on abuses from China.
“There is clearly abuse occurring. Clearly, there is over-capacity, dumping in the trans-shipping of steel and aluminum by some countries, particularly China,” Ryan told reporters after huddling with rank-and-file Republicans. “But I think the smarter way to go is to make it more surgical and more targeted.”
The Speaker made the same arguments to fellow Republicans during their closed-door GOP conference meeting, sources in the room said.
His comments on Tuesday were less harsh than a statement Ryan’s office released a day earlier saying it was “extremely worried about the consequences of a trade war” triggered by the tariffs.
