Trump demanded that a working group develop recommendations for reviving and expanding domestic nuclear fuel production within 90 days.

The Trump administration has repeatedly invoked the previously seldom-used Section 232, drawing strong opposition from domestic and international business community.

The investigation in foreign uranium is not initiated by the Trump administration by itself, but was requested by two U.S. uranium mining companies, Ur-Energy Inc. and Energy Fuels Inc.

American nuclear power plants, however, opposed restricting the imports of uranium, fearing that they would face a higher cost if quotas went into effect, especially when their market share has already been encroached by shale gas and wind energy companies.

Some viewed the petition for Section 232 investigation as protectionist, saying that it is merely aimed at saving an industry that has been struggling over the past few years.
