    Saudi Arabia was wasting 25% of the world’s steel on their stupid straight line city, so this move will probably lower their costs considerably.

    They must’ve given trump a dollar or two.

      They have to find someone with an undergraduate level grasp of Economics to explain tariffs as a pass-through cost to the entire administration.

      So, probably a while.
