We didn't have the means to import metal from Italy or China. I wonder if we could survive on just American made products only as a country?
It is wrong to say that US do not import metals from Italy or China. China produces large scale of production of steel and thus, China dump their steel around the world, that is why US has particular anti-dumpining policies in place for China. For coal, US has the highest amount of production. For rare earth metals, US is dependent on Australia mostly. US imports steel mostly from Canda and Brazil. For other metals like copper and aluminium, US has a lot of copper production in place. US imports aluminium from Canada and China. Thus, Us does import from other countries which is for its best interest.
