Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Borusan has expanded its U.S. manufacturing footprint to four facilities in Texas, shifting production onshore to circumvent the additional tariffs Washington imposes on Turkish steel. The move, reported by Ekonomi columnist Vahap Munyar, reflects a broader strategy among Turkish exporters, with olive oil producers also relocating operations to sidestep trade barriers. The shift matters because it preserves access to the U.S. market while reducing exposure to tariff-driven cost increases. What to watch next is whether other Turkish steel and agricultural exporters follow Borusan into onshore U.S. production.
