Section 232 is important for the USA, but I think there will be obligations at the end of it and so Turkey will not sell the quantities that [it] sold before,” said a trading source. “It may take more time to resume the selling. I do not know what Trump intends to do with the steel market, but it looks [as though] they want [measures to protect] the country’s manufacturers as well as consumers,” he added.
