US Steel To Restart Illinois Plant Operations: Plans To Call Back 500 Employees....

[Syriusly]

Let's see 500 jobs gained but 180,000 risk losing their jobs because of these tariffs. Even with additional steelworkers employed, there will still be a 140,000 net loss in jobs.

I am not a great mathematician like all these pro-Trumpers are, but it seems to me that the American people are getting a raw deal with these tariffs.

However, in the Trumpian age of alternative facts, where up is down and round is square, losing more jobs than you gain by ill-thought out policies is considered a win.

How Many American Jobs Could Be Lost Thanks to Trump's Steel and Aluminum Tariffs

All bullshit. The Trade Partnership from which you "source" this spewage is a globalist leftist think tank that strives for a single world economy. Only communist pukes like these clowns could spin manufacturing our own steel into job loss when, in actually, will net huge gains in the US economy.

Only fascist pukes like yourself could be so ignorant of- and despise Capitalism and American jobs so much to realize that the manufacturing sector that uses steel is vastly larger than our manufacturing sector that makes steel.

Wow, a US President actually looking out for American Citizens?! That hasn't happened in awhile. WTG Trump!


United States Steel Corp. said it would restart a blast furnace in Illinois to handle the higher demand it expects from President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on foreign steel.

The steelmaker said it also plans to call 500 employees back to work at the Granite City mill. U.S. Steel idled its blast furnaces there two years ago as a flood of cheap imports pushed down domestic steel prices. Steel producers have been hurt in recent years by increasing competition from foreign competitors, particularly China, that have ramped up production at lower prices...

Gotta love you people who think anyone getting or keeping a job is terrible. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Liberals want to see the USA fail.....if it means job losses so be it.

Tariffs cause job loss. Congratulations.

Yeah, you have been completely wrong since Trump got elected.

I absolutely have been- and I have been thrilled to be wrong so far.

Of course this is the first step Trump has made that threatens to start a Trade War.

Hopefully this will not kill the market.

Hopefully.

I wonder why that plant couldn't compete with Canada steel?

Because canada gets their steel from CHINA. For nothing.

Well that is a fascinating claim.

Any evidence to back it up?

I mean if there was actual evidence that Chinese steel was being supplied to Canada for nothing- and then Canadians were calling it steel made in Canada- and thereby committing fraud in the United States- I would expect that the Commerce Department would have taken legal action not- both criminal and civil.

Why do you think that Trump's administration would want to cover that up?

Sure, check the map below. Canada is one of, if not the largest, importer of Chinese steel.


"The 22 countries highlighted in the map below represent the top markets for China’s exports of steel, receiving more than 900 thousand metric tons each and accounting for 72 percent of China’s steel exports in 2017."

Uh, Westy? I'm not seeing Canada in this chart. I did see the map where they are one of the 22 countries as you say, but I'm not seeing anything tht suggest Canada is one of the largest importers of Chinese steel. And I did not see Canada listed anywhere in the report. Maybe they used to be but aren't any more?

A little protectionism might just be a good thing. We need to maintain our ability to produce steel and Al. Also, cheep prices are only good for those that have good jobs.

If the Globalists are upset, you know it's a great move by Trump. It's time to help American Workers out for a change. They've been completely thrown overboard by US Globalists. It's about time they got some help.

Just get your excuses ready when a year from now the economy has been hit with layoffs, unemployment and inflation. Fat lot of "help" it's gonna do us, is what the economists say.

Why will our economy be failing in a year from now?

And only a communist leftist turd as yourself would suggest that we import the raw materials we need to sustain our own manufacturing base.

Sorta scary to think we would have to rely on other nations to supply us raw materials, if there was some sort of global conflict. Especially considering that some who we get these metals from aren't exactly our friends.

No we don’t. We get our steel from Hamilton. Only 7% of Canadian steel comes from China. I haven’t been able to confirm this but logic tells me that most of it probably gets used in British Columbia, where it would be cheaper to buy Chinese steel than it would be to ship Canadian steel from Hamilton.

Canada’s largest steel manufacturer is Dofasco, which is wholly owned by US Steel.

Conservatives: no facts, no intellectual curiosity, no common sense = no clue

You have no clue, steel mills in Canada do some shady stuff and say Chinese steel is theirs.

Re-rolling spools and stuff, yeah, I know all about it.

Let's hope Trump doesn't give any exceptions, I'm worried he is going to just give the Chinese and other socialists loopholes galore. If he does, they will exploit them without question

Canada imports more steel from the United States than from China.

Let's get this straight: The US needs exactly jack-squat from any other country.

The only deficit I know of are trace minerals and PCBs. Anything else, the US can fully source any demand with zero need for imports. Srs Bidness. Give it 5 years, we'll have it all.

Its like you are just parroting the Trump talking points.

You do realize we produce steel and aluminum in the United States? Right?

But we don't produce much in the way of rare metals- that mostly come from China?
