Vance Visits Metallus Steel Plant in Canton to Promote Section 232 Tariff Policy

Vice President JD Vance visited the Metallus specialty steel manufacturing plant in Canton, Ohio on July 28, 2025, to promote domestic steel production under the administration's Section 232 tariff regime. Metallus produces specialty steel alloys used in defense, energy, and industrial applications; Vance used the Canton appearance to argue that tariffs were sustaining domestic manufacturing employment against competition from subsidized foreign steel producers.
