Imports of steel from China account for only about 0.6% of total U.S. steel demand, according to a senior Biden administration official. As a result, the White House does not believe raising the steel tariffs risks further increasing inflation, which has remained high despite recent economic gains.

If Chinese steel imports are such a small proportion of US steel demand, then how can the lower priced Chinese steel be having such a negative effect on US steel production?
