Exempting Ukraine steel exports from the new US duty is the goal of talks this week in Washington between Natalia Mikolska, Ukraine’s trade representative and offices of the US Commerce Department, the State Department and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade said in a press statement Monday. Australia, Argentina, Brazil and Korea are excluded from the tariffs. Last year, Ukraine exported to the US $176 million in steel products, largely pipes and semi-finished products.
