TATA REFUSES TO GUARANTEE PORT TALBOT

Tata Steel have refused to guarantee the future of Port Talbot following their decision to merge its European steel operations with another steel business and following talks with Thyssen-Krupp, a hige German conglomerate (HERE). 

Of course, not guaranteeing is not the same as closing it down but it's obvious there is a lot of over capacity in European steel making and some plant closures must be a possibility.  This would have happened with or without Brexit.
