Also- Tearing down buildings, getting permits for new ones, and going thru the rebuilding process would take years. Trump wants these companies back into production ASAP, and those workers feel the same.
Put everyone into the ‘permit process’ & watch it all grind to a halt.
Understood. My point is that we hear a lot of talk about the implications of this tariff on the steel industry in the Rust Belt, but a lot of those production facilities are antiquated and probably would have closed years ago even without any foreign competition. I believe the largest steel mill in the U.S. today is the former ThyssenKrupp plant in Alabama now operated as a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel.
