Essential Minerals Association. Chris Greissing. 7/21/26.

Summary: The Essential Minerals Association (EMA) urges the Department of Commerce to quickly conclude its Section 232 investigation and impose a 100 percent tariff on imported anthracite. They argue that domestic anthracite is vital for U.S. steel production and national security, and that unfair trade practices from countries like Peru and Russia threaten the viability of the American mining sector.
