  • Trump said U.S. Steel will stay an American company under a deal for Japan-based Nippon to invest in the iconic American steelmaker.

On May 30, 2025, former President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel imports if re-elected, aiming to protect the U.S. steel industry and create jobs, according to a report by Fortune.
