Factbox-The top sources of U.S. steel and aluminium imports

In a bold move, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Friday his intention to double tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50% from 25%, effective starting Wednesday. This decision is set to escalate the ongoing trade war and put immense pressure on global producers.

Steel imports play a significant role in the U.S. economy, with roughly a quarter of all steel used in the country being imported. Major suppliers include neighboring countries Mexico and Canada, as well as key allies in Asia and Europe such as Japan, South Korea, and Germany. Despite China being the world’s largest steel producer and exporter, the tariffs imposed in 2018 have effectively limited Chinese steel from entering the U.S. market. In fact, China only accounted for 1.8% of total American steel imports last year.

On the other hand, the U.S. heavily relies on aluminum imports, with approximately half of all aluminum used in the country being imported. Canada stands out as the primary source of aluminum imports, with 3.2 million tons imported last year, surpassing the combined imports from the next nine countries. The United Arab Emirates and China follow as the next largest sources of aluminum imports.

It is important to note that the U.S. aluminum smelting industry is relatively small compared to global standards, with total smelter capacity in the country representing just 1.73% of the global total, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

This latest development in the trade war is expected to have widespread implications on global trade dynamics. The affected countries are closely monitoring the situation and preparing for potential retaliatory measures. As the trade tensions escalate, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to President Trump’s decision to double tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
