Rollback of Trump's steel tariffs — it's a blow on the frontline regions of Ukraine, a political scientist.
If the United States begins to levy a 25% tariff on steel, the effect of which was restored by the American president on February 12, 2025, it will be a painful blow to the socio-economic situation of the frontline regions of Ukraine, according to political scientist Taras Semenyuk.
“Currently, almost all Ukrainian metallurgy is concentrated in the front-line regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Despite the huge losses during 3 years of large-scale war, because half of the steel production capacity was destroyed as a result of hostilities, the metallurgical industry remains one of the main ones for the formation of Ukraine's GDP. According to the results of 2024, the contribution of metallurgists to the country's GDP was 6%,” he noted Semenyuk
In turn, this threatens to destabilize the work of city-building enterprises and socio-economic life, the political scientist added.
