Trump announces plans for a nearly $15 billion steel plant in Iowa
A post says Mesabi Metallics would build the plant, which the White House calls the largest in U.S. history.
TLDR
A post says the planned Iowa plant is expected to produce around 10 million tons of steel a year, with first production planned for 2030. It projects 5,000–6,000 construction jobs and about 1,750 permanent jobs. Another post contrasts the announcement with CBC coverage of 350–500 workers idled at a Stelco finishing mill in Hamilton, with the layoffs blamed on cheap imports and 50% U.S. tariffs.
