Why tariffs are unlikely to bring back U.S. aluminum production
Workers look over paperwork and monitor a plasma torch at Central Steel Supply Company in Marlborough, Massachusetts on March 13, 2025. US President Donald Trump said March 11, 2025, that he would double incoming steel and aluminum tariffs on Canadian imports from 25 percent to 50 percent, adding that these would take effect "tomorrow morning." The United States imports around half the steel and aluminium used in the country to make items ranging from cars and aeroplanes to soft drink cans. Trump's goal is to protect the declining US steel industry as it faces growing competition, especially from Asia. Canada is the leading supplier of steel to the United States, followed by Brazil and then the European Union. (Photo by Joseph Prezioso / AFP) (Photo by JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP via Getty Images)
