Best Answer

The national defense argument for tariffs on steel is based on the prospect of war or the need to prepare for one. Without tariffs on steel, such as the one imposed during the George W. Bush administration, steel would be easily imported and the nation would become dependent on these imports. By imposing a tariff, defense contractors as example, would already have established steel contracts from domestic producers. Hence, no problems regarding having enough steel.
