What is Drawback

In March of 2018, former President Donald Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on steel imports and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum imports from a variety of countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On his final day in office Trump lifted the aluminum tariff. However, that did not last long as on February 1, current President Joe Biden reinstated the 10 percent aluminum tariff on imports from the UAE. As predicted by experts that covered the Biden administration this reinstatement is no surprise.

The reinstatement suggests that it is unlikely that the Biden administration will remove that aluminum tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. In a statement regarding the issue Biden said, “In my view, the available evidence indicates that imports from the UAE may still displace domestic production, and thereby threaten to impair our national security.” Union workers applauded Bidens move saying that Trump’s plan to lift tariffs on imports from the UAE would undermine the effectiveness of the program and essentially exempt the vast majority of aluminum imports. That being said, not everybody is happy with Biden’s reinstatement. Sure, union workers are all for it but manufacturers across the country are left disappointed.

These tariffs have sparked an outcry from downstream American industries that use steel and aluminum to make products like cars, boats, recreational vehicles, and cans. With the new tariff in place, it will increase costs for these manufacturers and narrow their profit margins making it even more difficult for their products to compete on the global market. The reinstated tariff on aluminum is one of Biden’s first big moves as the new president of the United States. What Biden will do going forward regarding imports and exports as a whole is not particularly clear but he has indicated that things will not change all that much.
