ASTA Letter Opposing Expansion of Section 232 Steel and Aluminum Tariffs to Spice Imports

ASTA signed onto a coalition letter from multiple industries to President Biden in October 2022 urging him to continue to work with the railroad unions and railroads to ensure that the tentative agreement that he helped broker is ratified by the parties, as a rail shutdown would have a significant impact on the U.S. economy and lead to further inflationary pressure.
