ArcelorMittal, a Luxembourg-based steelmaker, is donating $37 million in foreign steel for President Trump’s $400 million White House ballroom project, despite his administration’s aggressive tariffs on overseas metals. The steel, produced in Europe, was secured through a tariff adjustment that halved duties on Canadian automotive steel exports from ArcelorMittal’s facility. White House officials claim the donation is taxpayer-free, funded by private donors, though details remain opaque. Brandon Farris of the Steel Manufacturers’ Association criticized the move, urging U.S. producers to supply the steel, highlighting tensions between domestic industry and foreign contributions.
