Poland not affected by US aluminium and steel duties - Emilewicz

Poland will not lose from US duties on aluminum and steel from EU, Canada, and Mexico but the European market will feel the impact, Minister of entrepreneurship and technology Jadwiga Emilewicz said. “Our exports to the United States are insignificant and our market will not feel this,” she said. Emilewicz specified that US tariffs are strongly directed against excessive, according to President Donald Trump, export of products in the automotive industry from EU to the USA. There was also a discussion about what goods from the US to impose as part of possible retorsion, the Minister added. Customs duties of 25-percent for steel and 10 percent for aluminum imported to the USA from EU, Canada and Mexico became effective as of June 1. Canada and Mexico have already announced the imposition of retaliatory duties.
