6.  In gentle of my willpower to regulate the tariff proclaimed in Proclamation 9705 as utilized to eligible metal articles and spinoff metal articles which are the product of Ukraine, I’ve thought of whether or not it’s crucial and applicable in gentle of our nationwide safety pursuits to make any corresponding changes to such tariff because it applies to merchandise of different international locations.  I’ve decided that it’s crucial and applicable, right now, to take care of the present tariff stage because it applies to merchandise of different international locations.

7.  Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, authorizes the President to take motion to regulate the imports of an article and its derivatives which are being imported into the United States in such portions or beneath such circumstances as to threaten to impair the nationwide safety.
