Newspaper Industry Wins Against Trump
- 6 years ago
The newspaper industry just got a reprieve.
The US International Trade Commission rolled back the Trump administration's tariffs on imported newsprint.
The ITC determined that US newsprint producers were not harmed by the Canadian imports.
The newsprint tariff caused a large cost increase for local newspapers around the U.S.
Many papers responded by slimming down their papers or laying off workers.
The Commerce Department imposed the tariffs in January.
