Washington, DC, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Primary Aluminum Association (APAA) today applauds President Trump’s leadership for imposing the Section 232 aluminum tariff that is allowing Century Aluminum, the largest producer of primary aluminum in the U.S., to increase U.S. aluminum production by 10% and create over 100 new jobs. With the average salary being $100,000, these new jobs will allow more families to live the American Dream.
“President Trump saved America’s aluminum industry with the 50% aluminum tariff. Now Century Aluminum will invest $50 million and grow U.S. aluminum production by 10%” remarked APAA President Mark Duffy. “We are thrilled to hear that Century’s Mt. Holly facility will return to full operational capacity in the spring, bringing new high-paying jobs to the community. We have President Trump’s leadership to thank for this historic decision.”
This Section 232 aluminum tariff is a real game changer for the US aluminum industry as President Trump lives up to his campaign promises. As we look to the future of domestic aluminum production, Century’s announcement today is a great win for thousands of hardworking Americans that will benefit from this historic announcement.
