In March 2018, the White House announced tariffs on steel and aluminum under Section 232. Since the initial announcement, several ally countries were granted a temporary exemption on the tariffs with the remaining countries facing 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum.

Although these tariffs were welcoming news to the domestic steel mills, the announcement has created at least a temporary ripple effect for many manufacturing companies. Increased steel demand, coupled with reduced supply have caused pricing to increase rapidly. In addition to price escalation, many companies are finding supply more difficult to locate.
