WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s announcement on country exemptions on section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs:

“This announcement is welcome news.  I thank the President, Ambassador Lighthizer, and Secretary Ross for working with us to establish flexibility in the process, which reflects our joint commitment to American workers. I am committed to working with the Administration to ensure that these tariffs are narrow and targeted to protect our workers and job creators here at home and to enact good trade policies that grow our economy.”
