It’s the reason you buy over 40% of your aluminum from Canada alone.

No it isn't. 

WSJ: The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development disagrees in an independent report, which found that Canada’s aluminum industry is supported by more than $850 million in government subsidies.

Yeah the fact the companies don't have to pay $1000 a month for health care, all those holidays, maternity leave are subsidies too. Just like how the logging companies dont get to sell the land they log is an unfair trade advantage.
Waahh wahh tariffs mean YOU admit you can't compete.

Most certainly, tariff is what drove the EU to invest another 600 billion. Out of the kindness of their heart or to avoid tariff barriers? 

Do you know what happened to the $10B investment that Trump promised from FoxConn during his first term? LMAO

Trump wants manufacturing to return to the US so he charges a 50% tariff on the materials required to make them. Stable Genius at work.

Except America can't fulfill domestic demand with domestic supply so tariff-free steel, aluminum and copper become scarce and the price of that goes up as well. Supply and Demand FTW.

Why not? Steel production dropped by 20 metric tons under Joe Biden. That production can come back very quickly now that it is competitive in price. 

Aluminum has had a much larger drop. It dropped almost 100k metric tons from 23 to 24. 

All of that comes back as we even the cost of imported v domestic production.
