President Donald Trump this week toured the Coosa Steel mill in Georgia as he touted the growth of the industry due, in part, to his tariffs and industrial policy.
The tour saw Coosa Steel President Andrew Saville touted a boom in production, saying “[w]e were competing with China; they had taken all of it… We were laying off workers. We were working one shift, three days a week, begging for work. Now, it’s the exact opposite.”
Trump visited the mill ahead of the Friday Supreme Court ruling that saw the justices shut down his tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Though that ruling was a blow to Trump, the courts did not address tariffs imposed under other authorities and he subsequently announced a global 10% tariff under Section 122.
The Coosa mill trip visit represented a moment for Trump to highlight not just the success of the tariffs, but his efforts to reindustrialize the United States. U.S. steel production outpaced Japan in January for the first time in decades. Trump previously negotiated with Nippon steel to save the iconic American U.S. Steel firm.
Speaking at the Coosa mill, Trump highlighted his success in preserving manufacturing jobs, telling the workers “your jobs were being stolen as foreign nations dumped their subsidized products on our market… but now, thanks to the fact that we got elected, and thanks to the Trump tariffs, business at Coosa Steel is booming again.”
