TRADE DEALS/TRUMP MEMORANDA: “Memorandum for the Director of the Federal Bureau
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the Trade Expansion Act of 1962… Core industries such as steel (including specialty steel unique to defense applications), aluminum, vehicles, aircraft, shipbuilding, and semiconductors are critical elements of our manufacturing and defense industrial bases, which we must defend against unfair trade practices and other abuses.”
