Metal packaging manufacturers are concerned about the impact of President Trump’s recently reinstated tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which raise costs for the packaging industry and consumers. While U.S. steelmakers support the tariffs, many manufacturers worry about increased expenses for products like food cans, likely leading to higher consumer prices. Trade organizations are urging the removal of tariffs on tin mill steel to protect food security and suggesting that current measures could inadvertently harm domestic production. Overall, the situation raises concerns about a potential trade war and its effects on global markets.
