Vance Visits Nucor Steel Mill in Tuscaloosa to Promote Section 232 Tariffs

Vice President JD Vance visited Nucor Corporation's steel mill in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on May 1, 2025, to promote the administration's Section 232 steel tariff policy. Nucor is the largest domestic steel producer in the United States and employs approximately 31,000 workers nationwide; Vance cited Nucor's domestic investment plans as evidence that tariffs were sustaining U.S. steel industry capacity against subsidized foreign competition.
