President Trump issued a proclamation significantly increasing tariffs on aluminum imports from 10% to 25%, citing national security concerns.

The proclamation terminates previous agreements with Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, and the United Kingdom allowing for exceptions to the tariffs and eliminates a process for granting import exclusions.

These actions were taken because the President determined that previous attempts to address excessive aluminum imports had not sufficiently protected the domestic aluminum industry's national security, resulting in continued high import volumes and underutilization of domestic production capacity.

The proclamation terminates existing steel import agreements with multiple countries and implements a uniform 25% tariff on all steel imports effective March 12, 2025.

The review will lead to updated guidelines prioritizing American interests, and the Attorney General is tasked with potentially taking remedial action regarding previous enforcement actions.
