The Specialty Steel Industry of North America (SSINA) has released a report that documents in detail the importance of specialty metals to the national defense. It warns that the U.S. could lose its domestic specialty metals production capability if U.S. manufacturers of specialty metals, like other manufacturers, elect to move their production offshore. To counter the problem, the US needs to create an industrial policy that encourages investment in US manufacturing, particulartly as it relates to specialty metals. Furthermore, Congress and the Administration should closely monitor the behavior of strategic trading partners such as China.
