Sandy Hoe is quoted by The Daily Signal in an article regarding the potential impact of President Trump's 'Buy America' policy on steel mills. Despite steel mill operators' concerns surrounding increased costs and potential layoffs, Hoe explains that "[t]he April executive order doesn't change any law." He adds, "It is a lot like a lot of [Trump's] executive orders in that it directs a study. It asks the secretary of commerce [Wilbur Ross] to explain what the department is doing to enforce existing law, so it puts the issue at a higher priority level."
