    U.S. Steel to reopen dormant Illinois plant, credits proposed Trump tariffs

    U.S. Steel said Wednesday that it is preparing to restart its steelmaking facilities and one blast furnace at an Illinois plant as a result of President Trump’s promise to levy tariffs on foreign steel.

    If U.S. Steel restarts part of its plant in Granite City, Ill., which has been out of commission for more than two years, the company could hire 500 workers. The company anticipates the restart could take about four months.
    .

    U.S. Steel president and CEO David Burritt praised Trump's “strong leadership” on the tariff proposal.

    “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,” Burritt said. He added that the “action announced by President Trump last week recognizes the significant threat steel imports pose to our national and economic security.”

    South Carolina steel plant reopened by UK industrialist, avoiding tariffs


    British industrialist Sanjeev Gupta’s GFG Industrials on Monday reopened a shuttered South Carolina steel plant in a move that will allow his U.K.-based firm to circumvent the Trump administration’s 25% tariffs on steel imports.

    Liberty Steel, a London-based company owned by Gupta’s group, held a relaunch ceremony at Georgetown Steel Mill on Monday. The mill originally closed in 2015 and was acquired by Liberty House in 2017, the Myrtle Beach Sun News reported.


    (NOTE - CLOSED UNDER OBAMA, REOPENED UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP!)

    OMG! MORE??? STOP WINNING SO MUCH SO FAST!!!

    JSW SteelNSE has said it proposes an investment of up to $500 million in acquiring, enhancing and upgrading Acero Junction Inc, an integrated steel manufacturing unit with a potential capacity of 3 million tonne per annum (mtpa), located at Ohio in the US.

    The company had in March announced plans to pump in $500 million to modernise its steel plate and pie unit at Baytown, Texas. The latest announcement thus takes JSW’s overall investment in the US market to $ 1billion.

    Steel mills reopening and new facilities in 3 states, both USA steel companies and even foreign companies bringing their jobs HERE to the good ole USA! And they all credit it to President Donald J. Trump. And that is only those PUBLICLY announced. Sources say many more are in the works, but not ready to be publicly announced.

    President Trump is proving to be incredibly successful. Remember being told we could NEVER defeat ISIS and team Obama wanted to try to buy them off with jobs and welfare? Instead President Trump authorized our military to just obliterate ISIS - and it done after YEARS and YEARS of Obama's American casualties, ISIS terrorist attacks, beheading Christians, raping and enslaving women and girls, burning prisoners alive?

    This reversal of USA steel production and jobs declining is AMAZING!!!! But it needs to spread it out a bit more as this much winning is probably going to drive some in the MSM to insanity and suicide - and it is now hard to keep up with ALL THE WINNING!

    While the left goes on with their little games like apologizing to Canada for Trump, our president is making actual changes that positively affect Americans.
