<p>My ministerial team and I have had numerous discussions with the steel sector –
both as part of wider discussions and on this subject alone – since the measures were
announced by the US. We and our colleagues across Government have regularly raised
this issue directly with the US to make our objections clear. We have also been working
closely with the EU to ensure that proportionate action is taken so that UK workers
are safeguarded. We remain in regular contact with the EU and the US Administration
to try to reach a positive outcome. Together with BEIS officials, I will continue
to engage the UK steel and aluminium companies affected by these tariffs to provide
advice and support.</p>
