Farmers don’t ask for handouts. They ask for fair markets, less red tape, and the freedom to do what they do best....feed America!

President Trump is standing with the men and women who keep America fed and our rural communities strong. Strong farms. Strong families. Strong America.

When we support our farmers, we support the future of America. 🚜🇺🇸🌾

President Trump’s Section 232 tariffs on imported steel, aluminum, and copper have been a key part of his effort to strengthen American manufacturing and national security. Since their implementation, the United States became the world’s third-largest steel-producing nation in 2025, with more than 4 million tons of new steelmaking capacity expected to come online over the next two years.

New investments are being made in steel, aluminum, and copper production across the country, including new steel facilities in West Virginia, Arkansas, and South Carolina, and the first new U.S. aluminum smelter in decades planned for Oklahoma. Additional expansion projects are underway through companies investing in domestic copper mining, smelting, and manufacturing.

These tariffs help American producers compete with foreign imports, support domestic jobs, strengthen critical supply chains, and protect industries considered essential to national and economic security. The policy has also been expanded to include sectors such as automobiles, timber, semiconductors, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals.

Through tariffs and trade negotiations, the Trump administration has secured significant private and foreign investment to expand manufacturing capacity and create jobs in the United States.
