Dem Rep. Debbie Dingell Signals Support for Trump Tariffs on Steel, Aluminum

‘One of the reasons that President Trump won is because he understood what trade was doing in this country’

EXCERPT:

DINGELL: “I have to say that I’ve said from the very beginning one of the reasons that President Trump won was because he understood what trade was doing in this country and that I would work with him on leveling the playing field in this country. I have not seen what the actual wording is or what’s going to happen next week or the details, and that’s very important to me. I have shuttered steel plants. McLouth Steel is one of the biggest eye soars sitting on the river in my district, and I’ve got a lot of those workers who have now no jobs, their pensions have been threatened. So I know what unfair steel practices have done in this country. I’m also waiting to see the results of the Section 232 investigation and what it is doing to national security. But my domestic auto manufacturers are worried about unintended consequences. I need to see it. I need to understand it. We have to do something. But I don’t want unintended consequences either.”
