The American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) has reached out to the Trump administration, as well as some members of Congress, to present a blueprint of issues that are top of mind for steel producers.
“2025 presents an opportunity for the new administration and Congress to take a holistic look at the key issues impacting steel manufacturing,” AISI President and CEO Kevin Dempsey said in a statement on Wednesday.
AISI outlined three sets of policy priorities on issues of trade, tax, and regulation.
“Specifically, AISI’s policy recommendations include measures that enhance existing trade measures to address foreign unfair trade practices, ensure common-sense regulations that foster innovation, and implement tax policies to encourage new and continued investment,” Dempsey said.
These policy recommendations “will enable the continued success of the American steel industry and the jobs it supports,” he said.
A full list of AISI policy priorities for the domestic steel industry can be found here.
