On May 19, 2019, President Trump signed Proclamation 9980, adjusting imports of steel into the United States by modifying tariff rates and establishing quota systems on steel products. The proclamation modified the 25% steel tariffs previously imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, creating exemptions and quota allocations for certain countries and steel categories. The confirmed direct impact included increased costs for American manufacturers using steel, price increases for steel-dependent consumer goods including automobiles and appliances, and trade disputes with multiple countries resulting in retaliatory tariffs on American agricultural and manufactured exports.
