WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump said he will announce on Monday that the United States will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico, as well as other import duties later in the week.

“Any steel coming into the United States is going to have a 25% tariff,” he told reporters Sunday on Air Force One as he flew from Florida to New Orleans to attend the Super Bowl. When asked about aluminum, he responded, “aluminum, too” will be subject to the trade penalties.


 
Trump thinks that we will go back to making it in America, but I tend to doubt it. Washington State aluminum for sure is not coming back as we remove hydro converting to intermittent electricity generation.
 
I just saw that the last steelworks in Briton, which has been owned by the Chinese since 2020 (they bought it in bankruptcy)....which is massively out of date because British Steel did not invest in upkeep/upgrades over decades, is closing.
