CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) announced that Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer is hosting Senator Sherrod Brown (OH) and leadership from the United Steelworkers, David McCall, USW International President and Donnie Blatt, Director of USW District 1, at its Cleveland Works plant in Ohio on Wednesday, June 26 for a press conference. Senator Brown’s visit follows the recent bipartisan legislation introduced to stop the dramatic increase in Mexican steel imports. The Stop Mexico’s Steel Surge Act reinstates the 232 tariffs on Mexican steel imports at 25 percent, for no less than a year, and gives the President of the United States the authority to impose additional quotas and tariff rate quotas on specific products if necessary. Senator Brown has led efforts pushing the current administration to take aggressive action to enforce the agreement to level the playing field for American manufacturers and workers in the steel industry.

During the visit, Senator Brown will meet with Cleveland-Cliffs’ CEO Lourenco Goncalves and USW International President David McCall, as well as with local union leaders and employees regarding this important trade enforcement matter. Mr. Goncalves will be hosting a press conference with Senator Brown, David McCall and Donnie Blatt that will be live streamed on the Company’s YouTube channel.
