'VITAL DIFFERENCE': Exec touts impact of Section 232 tariffs on steel industry

• Over $25 billion in new investments are flowing into the U.S. steel industry, including significant projects by Nucor and Commercial Metals Company in West Virginia.
• Section 232 steel tariffs are credited as the 'most consequential thing' for the industry in decades, leading to a 300,000-ton increase in production last year.
• These investments and trade policies are creating 'tens of thousands of jobs' and leaving a 'lasting impression' on the domestic steel industry.

The Steel Manufacturers Association launched its 'Steel Strong' campaign, highlighting over $25 billion in new investments and job creation within the U.S. steel industry. Executive VP Brandon Farris attributes this growth to Section 232 steel tariffs and 'America First' trade policies, which have stabilized the industry and boosted domestic production.
