Trump Cuts Aluminum Tariffs by 50% for Onshore Smelter Investment
President Trump signed a proclamation granting a 50% reduction in Section 232 aluminum tariffs for companies that invest in domestic smelter operations. The White House directed the Commerce Secretary to establish an incentive program tying the lower import duty to onshoring plans.
The policy expands existing tariff mechanisms to support both aluminum and critical mineral supply chains, directly benefiting U.S. smelters as the administration uses trade policy to accelerate domestic industrial capacity.
