Tariffs Ignite Manufacturing Boom

Factory Orders Surge 5.5%, Steel Tops Japan, Aluminum Revives After 40 Years

I’m reaching out from TruthPR to offer Christian Briggs for an insightful interview on how President Trump’s tariffs are igniting a historic manufacturing renaissance in America. As a leading voice on economic policy and supply chain resilience, Christian can break down the data-driven wins proving tariffs are bringing jobs and production home.

Key highlights Christian can discuss:

  • Factory orders are surging, with durable goods up 5.3% in November – signaling robust business investment amid strong demand.
  • U.S. steel production hit 82 million tons in 2025, surpassing Japan for the first time in 26 years, thanks to tariff protections and AI-driven construction booms.
  • The first primary aluminum smelter in nearly 50 years is breaking ground in Oklahoma by Century Aluminum and EGA, set to double U.S. output and create 1,000 jobs.
  • Major firms are reshoring: Whirlpool’s $300M Ohio expansion leverages tariffs for U.S. advantage; Stellantis (Jeep) pledges $13B in U.S. plants, adding 5,000 jobs; Apple’s $500B+ U.S. commitment includes new Texas and Houston factories.

Christian Briggs offers fresh analysis tied to these headlines and delivers compelling soundbites on trade policy.
