Mainland China was the largest steel producing country in 2000 with 127.2 million tonnes. Two other nations produced over 100 million tonnes of steel in 2000, those being Japan at 106.4 million tonnes and the United States at 101.5 million tonnes. Together, these three nations account for almost 40% of world steel production. For ranking of producers, see the link.

According to the International Iron and Steel Institute, in July 2006, the United States produced 8.5 million metric tons. This amounts to 8.2% of the worldwide total produced for that month.
Year to date, the United States has produced 59.2 million metric tons. This amounts to 8.5% of the worldwide total production, year to date in 2006.

I think Mittal steel is the biggest single producer, but in terms of the production of an entire country, the USA has to be up there...

That is a good question. I think most steel is imported from other countries, such as china, japan, etc.
