Washington, DC; February 10, 2025 – The American Primary Aluminum Association (APAA), today praised President Trump for signing an Executive Order (EO) to strengthen the Section 232 program by imposing a 25% tariff on all aluminum imports. The tariff will apply to all foreign countries.

“Today is a great day for the U.S. aluminum industry. President Trump has shown tremendous leadership by taking action on the Section 232 program to put American aluminum workers first,” remarked Mark Duffy, President of the APAA. “Unfair trade practices have devastated the domestic aluminum industry and President Trump’s actions today will protect thousands of American workers and their families.”
