SMA Executive Vice President Brandon Farris today issued the following statement:

“Securing domestic supply chains is one of the most important steps this Administration can take to ensure the United States is prepared for whatever challenges lie ahead. Yesterday’s action strengthens America’s industrial might.

“President Trump has made rebuilding American manufacturing a defining priority. This EO builds on that commitment by ensuring the United States can produce the critical materials and manufactured goods that our economy, infrastructure, and military depend upon.

“A resilient domestic industrial base is a national security imperative. The Steel Manufacturers Association looks forward to continuing to work with the Administration to advance policies that strengthen domestic manufacturing, secure critical supply chains, and create more high-paying jobs for American workers.”
