Trump: I Am ‘Proud ... of the Beautiful Tariffs’ on ‘Crap Steel’ that Was Being Imported

‘I’m very proud of, American steel and our steel mills, are roaring back to life’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: “Now, the result of my very tough trade actions, something I’m very proud of, America's steel and our steel mills, are roaring back to life. You know that. You see it all over. We put a big fat beautiful tariff on that dump steel, it's sand steel, it's mud steel, it's crap steel. And they're dumping it all over. I said, that's okay, you can dump but we're going to charge you 25 percent when you come in and think you’re going to take our jobs and give us bad steel. I know a lot about — I've used a lot of steel. Right here in Ohio, Nucor has just announced an $85 million upgrade in Marion. Charter Steel announced plans to build a brand-new $150 million steel plant in Cuyahoga Heights. JSW Steel is restarting the furnace, it's a massive furnace, and investing $500 million in Mingo Junction. And Cleveland-Cliffs announced a brand-new $700 million plant in Toledo, Ohio."
