US Steel CEO tells US officials currency a concern

WASHINGTON | Thu Dec 3, 2009 3:20pm EST

WASHINGTON Dec 3 (Reuters) - United States Steel Corp (X.N) CEO John Surma on Thursday cited currency imbalances, especially with China, as one of the obstacles to promoting U.S. export growth.

Surma, who participated in a forum with White House officials on job creation, said rebalancing trade and currencies would be "hugely important" to spurring sales of U.S. goods overseas.

The forum was moderated by top White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers who was seeking advice from Surma and other business executives and experts on the export issue. (Reporting by Caren Bohan) ((caren.bohan@thomsonreuters.com, +1-202-898-8400))
