Rick Huether is the chief executive of Independent Can Co, a Maryland-based business that specializes in manufacturing decorative metal containers such as cookie tins and popcorn boxes. Following the recent announcement by President Donald Trump to double tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50%, Huether expressed his concerns about the potential chaos and financial strain on his company, which relies on European steel. He highlighted how abrupt changes in tariffs could lead his customers to seek alternatives and put his investments on hold.
