President Bush pivoted from Iraq to the economy in a speech to auto workers on Monday but offered no hint of his coming decision on the issue foremost on the minds of his audience: whether he will extend tariffs on imported steel.
Although Bush is expected to drop the tariffs, he limited himself to discussing his tax cuts and other economic policies.
The World Trade Organization has ruled steel tariffs illegal, and the European Union has threatened to impose $2.2 billion in retaliatory tariffs if the U.S. duties remain in place on Dec. 10.
