Sen. Franken's Statement on Commerce Department Decision on Steel Dumping

Statement

Today, U.S. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) released the following statement after the U.S. Department of Commerce made a decision on South Korea illegally dumping steel into American markets:

"America's iron and steel industries and American workers can compete with anyone in the world on a level playing field," said Sen. Franken. "But we can't accept when other countries dump their goods at anti-competitive prices, undercutting Minnesota's iron and steel producers. For some time, I've been pressing to keep unfair trade practices in check and give our producers a fair shake, and I'm very pleased that the Commerce Department recognized that Korea and other countries were dumping steel here and is taking action to protect Minnesota workers and Minnesota jobs."
