Adjusting Imports of Steel into The United States

The actions taken in this proclamation are designed to protect the national security interests of the United States by limiting the import and consumption of carbon-intensive steel products, which can be used in the production of weapons systems. This is intended to reduce the country’s dependence on foreign sources of steel and maintain a strong domestic industry capable of producing critical materials for defense needs. The proclamation also seeks to address concerns about carbon emissions by reducing the import and consumption of these products, which are typically made using fossil fuels. Additionally, this proclamation is intended to support the Biden Administration’s goals of promoting a clean energy future and building resilience against climate change.
