Blast furnaces stood idle at U.S. Steel’s facility in Granite City, Ill., in 2017. U.S. Steel says it will restart one blast furnace at the site to handle higher demand in light of President Trump’s proposed steel tariffs. Photo: Luke Sharrett/Bloomberg News
WINNING!
Granite City: Making Obamugabe’s “southside” great again!
Immediate, and definite benefit. Naturally, dems condemn it because they hate this country.
What about mining?
That is near Saint Louis, Missouri. Just across the river.
I am sure that the 4 major Democrats in Ill-Annoy (Rauner, Madigan, Durbin, and Duckworth) are fully opposed to this... If Trump is for it, these 4 knuckleheads will be against it.
I hope Republic does the same in the Cleveland Flats. They do still have some action in Lorraine.
Assuredly, somewhere...somebody is accusing Trump of subsidizing US Steel as a result of the tariffs.
Progressive logic being what it is.
This is aside from my view that this is also a national security matter (infrastructure & industry supporting, among other things, defense).
Maybe the growth of American Steel can fix detroit.....

Take thAt you stupid free traders
More good paying jobs for Americans who want to work.
This is a way to raise tax revenue to offset further tax cuts on earned income.
too bad this benefit is wasted on a blue sanctuary state. Trump needs the help in Pennsylvania and Michigan! Illinois is a lost cause.
