Why is STEEL so important?

Tanks?
ships?
Or simply as a trading commodity?
Buildings built with inferior Chinese steel?

The price of steel is a huge factor in the cost of constructing large buildings. The fluctuating price of steel can affect when or if a project gets built. Trump would be very knowledgeable about that.

Is that what those Chinese Ghost Cities are all about? Nobody will move into them because the steel is always collapsing?

When I worked in the o+g industry, all pipeline steel was mandatory u.s. made.

Also, recall that the railroads in Atlas Shrugged were failing from substandard steel.
Steel = Infrastructure

I feel Trump is dealing with things he has known how he wants to deal with for 20 years.
