Century Applauds President Trump’s Aluminum Tariff Increase

CHICAGO, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Aluminum Company (NASDAQ: CENX) applauds President Trump’s unwavering defense of the nation’s domestic production of critical metals by increasing aluminum tariffs to 50 percent.

President Trump’s action, announced in Pittsburgh on Friday, increases the Section 232 tariffs on foreign primary aluminum imports from 25 percent to 50 percent. This bold step safeguards the supply of metals critical for national security, while encouraging investments in U.S. job creation. With the support of President Trump’s policies, Century Aluminum has announced that it will build the first new aluminum smelter to be built in the U.S. in 50 years and double domestic production.

“President Trump has stood firm in his support of U.S. aluminum production and American jobs,” said Jesse Gary, President and CEO. “We thank President Trump for again putting America first and supporting the resurgence of the domestic aluminum industry.”

Century Aluminum is the largest domestic producer of primary aluminum in the United States.
