Not very likely. Each steel plant requires transportation, raw material, vendors, service. Plants create more jobs.
And smoking is good for you according to the Tobacco lobby.
If i could accurately predict the future, I wouldn’t waste my time creating bogeymen trade rumors. I’d just pick winning lottery numbers
Was going to say the same thing.
First of all, this analysis could be wrong. Economics is hardly an exact science.
Second, we do have legitimate national security issues.
Lastly, we have been getting the short end of the stick for years, if not decades.
Let’s roll the dice.
This is great news! Because brilliant Fred Lucas also predicted HilLIARy would win, didn’t he?

'nuff said....
“The Trade Partnership” operates a business model that would be completely obliterated by any sensible trade policy.
A news outlet that didn’t do the 5 minutes of due diligence to find that out is a propaganda outlet and not worthy of your clicks or notice.
In theory, this is quite true. In practice, most of us are smart enough to realize Trump is using this as a bargaining chip. He is also distinguishing between allied countries and those with whom free trade is a one-way street. Something that the swamp has been unable to do since, at least, the Reagan administration.
Maybe 5 jobs overseas

We have "Managed Trade" and since the 1940s it has been purposely managed to the US detriment.
At Berrton Woods the US and Britain had a conference to set up a post WW2 international finical and trade system. The Conference, run by British and US socialists, communist sympathizes and "New Dealers", crafted a new financial/trade system for the post war world. One of their theories was the war was caused by wild swings in trade and international finance.They crafted a system that was designed to smooth out those swings and promote global stability.
The theory was, that the US Economy was so big, diverse and strong, it could adsorb other countries finical/unemployment woes thus help prompt peace and stability.This expanded during the Cold War as the US used it economic muscle to counter the expansion of communist influence around the world.
What Trump is doing is challenging the assumptions and theories of the "Managed Trade" Globalists. Rather then cling to a 70 years old theory, maybe we need to realize that both World War 2 and Cold War are long over and we need a new trade system.
What countries 5 jobs?
“Where is supporting data”
There is no supporting data. There cannot be any supporting data at this point because we have not been told, nor has this author been told exactly how, at what level and on who the tariffs are going to be applied.
Only a fool and or someone who believes everyone else is a fool would write pure crap like this.
Disinformation from the same folks (traitors) that gave us NAFTA, GATT, and have been pushing TPP.....
.....totally disingenuous & anti-populous rhetoric
Remember Obama’s “shovel-ready jobs?” He had all sorts of built-in support from media and experts, too. All the shoveling was in clearing away the BS of his statement.
“But if you are a small fabricator in Michigan or Ohio, and you use a foreign metal because it has been price attractive for you to do that or there has been some relationship you have with this supplier, those supply chains are going to be cut off by these increase tariffs,” she said. “You are going to have a hard time jumping to new sources of supply.”
Disinformation from the same folks (traitors) that gave us NAFTA, GATT, and have been pushing TPP.....
.....the GOPe class of folks who live so well off Wall Street investments know practically nothing about the meaning of having the opportunity of earning a living through having a real ‘blue collar’ job.....
This, like most other economic predictions, is full of baloney.
Notice that the people speaking out against the tariffs are the one's representing companies that have a vested interest in importing cheap product.
