Defend American Steel and Aluminum

President Trump promised to stand up for America's working class. Now he needs to keep that promise.

A newly released Commerce Department investigation found that steel and aluminum imports are a threat to America's defense. President Trump now has until mid-April to act to defend these blue collar jobs and our national security.

Tell the president to take swift, comprehensive action and stand up for American-made steel and aluminum.
