WASHINGTON –Today, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urging the department to expand the section 232 tariffs on steel derivatives in order to cover the entire cost of imported steel-containing appliances. “Trade data show that from 2018, when the original 232 tariffs were imposed, to today, imports of major home appliances have doubled from four Asian countries, all of whom import significant quantities of Chinese appliance-grade steel. Clearly, these imports are rising to evade the section 232 tariffs and undercut American appliance manufacturers and their workers who use domestic melted and poured steel and U.S. supply chains to manufacture products.

WASHINGTON –Today, Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) took to the Senate floor to respond to an anti-Israel rant by Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT). “We’re sitting here in the United States Senate and not even saying a word about the fact that there’s a U.S. citizen being held hostage by a terrorist group in the Middle East. That is outrageous, that should be at the top of the agenda,” said Senator Moreno. “Hamas is the enemy, not our greatest ally, which is Israel.”    Watch Senator Moreno’s full remarks HERE.
