Very nice. When the playing field is level, then I always bet on the US to win. We still are the country that works the hardest and is the most innovative. We just need leaders who don't give away what is rightfully ours. We deserve a level playing field. I just wish Trump would explain things to the American people. Maybe he could get more Liberals educated on why what he's doing is not starting a trade war, but actually trying to END the trade war that we've been losing for decades.

US Steel Restarts Two Blast Furnaces in Granite City, IL After Trump Announcement on Tariffs

On Tuesday Jesse Gary, the Executive Vice President at Century Aluminum, told Trish Regan on FOX Business Network that Century Aluminum will hire 300 new employees in western Kentucky thanks to Donald Trump’s announcement on tariffs this past week.

Now this…

US Steel will restart two blast furnaces and recall 500 employees in Granite City, Illinois following President Trump’s decision to tax steel and aluminum imports. A total of 800 new US steel and aluminum jobs were announced in the last two days.

U.S. Steel announced Wednesday that it will restart one of two blast furnaces and the steelmaking facilities at its Granite City Works in Illinois, recalling about 500 employees.

The mill restart comes on the heels of President Donald J. Trump’s announcement that he would seeking tariffs of 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum. Getting the mill running again could take up to four months, the company said.

“Our Granite City Works facility and employees, as well as the surrounding community, have suffered too long from the unending waves of unfairly traded steel products that have flooded U.S. markets,” U.S. Steel President and CEO David B. Burritt said in a prepared statement.
