That won't help once we're into full trade war mode.

There are about 50,000 steel workers, and about 6 million workers at plants that use steel, so it's hard to see how raising the price of steel will be a good thing.   Good for the 50,000, but bad for the 6,000,000.   Not to mention the consumers who will have to pay more for products that contain steel.
