Comment: The irony is that Lighthizer's so called victories were a loss for Americans. 

It was a win for the steel importers. Rather than flood the market with low priced steel, and benefit US consumers, foreign exporters got to produce and sell less at a lower marginal cost and higher price than they would in free trade. 

Foreign producers make more profit, domestic producers get to charge a higher domestic price, and the US taxpayer subsidizes the steel industry by paying inflated prices. 

Meanwhile the government is coaching the beleaguered taxpayer into cheering the very people that are robbing them!
