Statement from U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross on President Trump’s Section 232 Tariff Modifications

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on May 17, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

President Donald J. Trump’s strategy has worked. By acting in the best interests of our national security, the President’s imposition of Section 232 tariffs has brought American steel and aluminum plants roaring back to life, providing thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars of investment across our Nation. These industries are crucial to protect our national security and critical infrastructure, and this deal is another notch in the long line of successes of President Trump.

As we celebrate this success and look toward the ratification and implementation of the U.S.-Canada-Mexico Agreement, the future could not be brighter for the economies of our three great Nations.
