In addition, this internship will provide an understanding of potential trade-related career paths in the U.S. Federal Government. 3. The intern will primarily assist the IMAU team with their responsibilities of monitoring U.S. imports of steel mill products and global trade/investment patterns in the steel industry. Tasks will include helping to draft reports that inform the public about recent developments in the world's largest steel importing and exporting countries and conducting research into trade distortion patterns on steel and other industries.
