THE Coalition of American Metal Manufacturers and Users has asked US President Joe Biden to end steel and aluminum tariffs, reports Bloomberg News.
The manufacturing group claims the tariffs hurt family-owned businesses and has fractured relationships with trading partners.
"By taking action to terminate the Trump tariffs, your administration can prevent US manufacturers from shutting down production lines, laying off workers, and potentially even closing their doors," said the group's executive director Paul Nathanson.
"Thousands of manufacturers cannot procure the necessary raw materials in the US in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities - and of a satisfactory quality- leading American companies to rely on imports," said Mr Nathanson.
President Biden declared he would keep US tariffs on aluminum imports from the United Arab Emirates, reversing a last-minute directive by the Trump administration.
The United Steelworkers and others have asked President Biden to maintain tariffs. The coalition represents more than 30,000 companies and more than one million workers.
