Fireside Chat with Barry Zekelman - From Tariffs to Talent: The Heavy Lift of Reviving US Manufacturing
The Trump administration’s tariffs reflect a deeper effort to reclaim domestic manufacturing strength. And big investments, like Nippon Steel’s multi-billion plans for U.S. Steel, signal long-term optimism. Barry will talk about which industries might reshore and when. He’ll also consider how the steel industry can better address shortages of skilled labor. There will no doubt be unexpected news between now and Aug. 25. Barry will discuss what any summer surprises mean for steel - and he’ll take questions from you too!
