Man of Steel: Trump’s Tariffs Seek to Protect, Expand America’s Metal Industry

Metal workers

President Donald Trump’s orders to impose tariffs and close loopholes on metal imports not only delivered on a major campaign promise to American steel workers, they also set the stage for geopolitical dealmaking that could stretch as far and wide as Europe and the Gaza Strip.

Within hours of Trump affixing his signature on the tariffs orders that take effect globally next month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday floated the notion that American companies would play a major role in rebuilding his country post-war. It’s one of many potential big markets for U.S. steel and aluminum that could be negotiated by a Trump administration after years of Ukraine enjoying exemptions to prior U.S. tariffs.

Commentary: The Democrat Party’s Self-Destruction

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

The Democratic Party is polling about 31 percent approval, a near-historic low.

Despite enjoying a huge lead in fundraising, legacy media favoritism, and incumbency, in the 2024 election, Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump.

A half-century ago, supply-side economics burst onto the national stage thanks to the energy and charisma of former Republican New York Rep. Jack Kemp.

So prices would be lowered as new jobs and profits were created.

One pivotal byproduct of President Donald Trump’s second term is that it continues to expose the mainstream media’s brazen allegiance to propping up what remains of the Democratic Party at the expense of the American people.

Trade War with U.S. Neighbors Would Increase Energy Costs on Both Sides of the Border, Experts Warn

Canada Mexico America

President Donald Trump Saturday moved to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, hoping to pressure the countries to do more to control drug trafficking and illegal immigration into the U.S. Almost immediately after productive discussions with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Monday, Trump agreed to pause the sanctions for one month. 

Negotiations are continuing, and Trump hasn’t offered certainties about the future of his proposed tariffs. Should negotiations break down, energy experts say the tariffs could have impacts on American energy, ranging anywhere from minor increases in gasoline and oil prices to serious impacts to American refineries.
