Under Trump, Made in America Is Losing Out to Russian Steel


Four days after his inauguration, Donald Trump signed a handful of executive memos to advance the Keystone XL pipeline and revive the U.S. steel industry. He invited builder TransCanada Corp. to reapply for a permit denied by Barack Obama and ordered up fast-track rules forcing not only Keystone but also all new U.S. pipelines to be made from American steel. “From now on, we’re going to be making pipeline in the United States,” he said.

Made-in-America Keystone was a stunt. Most of its pipes had already been manufactured, a fact the White House grudgingly admitted when it exempted the project from any new Buy American rules a few months later. While some of Keystone’s pipes were made in the U.S., at least a quarter of them came from a Russian steel company whose biggest shareholder is an oligarch and Trump family friend. The company, Evraz North America, supplied Keystone from its steel plants in Canada and for years has lobbied in Washington against Trump-style protectionism.

Ten months after his Keystone event, Trump has yet to deliver on his pledge to boost the fortunes of American steel. Two self-imposed deadlines for trade action, one in June and one in July, have come and gone. Meanwhile, the prospect of tariffs has led to a surge of cheap foreign steel into the U.S., with imports rising 24 percent in 2017, the fastest increase in years.

Oops! That's embarrassing. I bet it's fake news though.

Agree with the essence of your comment. The thing is he HAS is chance. NOW. He has been at it for almost a year. One of the issues for YT is that he should be a bit more explicit on what he is focused on and stick to it , rather than playing his childish Twitter distraction and angry war games.

for eg: there is no need for him to bash Wilson in Texas the immature way that he did . Now she is receiving death threats and requiring extra security. Assuming that these death threats come from his supporters......well it goes to the character of the supporters and hither leader. This is an example o f how he provokes violence. Thee is simply NO need for him to be such a bully.........and yet that is where he goes each chance he gets.

Another exampole of his lack of integrey: He says all the ladies who accues him osf sexual advances (inapporpraite) are lyhing. ALLof them?? Get real. Pathologicalliar.

Now he is after Hillary again.........even though he won. He just can't let it go until he has destroyed the person he has targeted.


Give him a chance for what?? destroy even-more people.? He HAS A CHANCE by VIRTUE F THE FACT HE IS in office. He But that is not enough........ He is so threatened by smart and competent WOMEN who have "insulted " him........that his compulsion for revenge is brutal. Yet look at how he verbally treats them...

Why Hillary now?? Shouldn't he be working at getting things done?? We know why. To get the heat off the investigation about him

It is ALWAYS about HIM........and his supporters just love that.
Maybe she actually broke the law or had others do it for her . Is Hillary above the law ? Is the law only for little people ? What is the meaning of is ?

They call their President "The Leader of the Free World". That term is for domestic consumption and Americans use it with each other to justify their "exceptionalism" while back-slapping each other. It isn't much used or heard outside their borders. They sure are an insular lot for supposedly being world leaders.

Even more ironic. Cliff has no job.


That doesn't bother me and don't see why it would bother anyone else. The guy is 70 years old for God sakes! (What Cliffy should be working to improve is his attitude toward the illustrious President of the U.S.A.) :)

He's a moron.

I suppose that being a moron isn't a crime. That would sure wipe out a lot of internet fora.

(Just kidding!)

He's actually better spoken and more articulate than many on here and he does have a sense of humour. I don't always agree with him.

Just WHO are you talking about J?? :)


I figured with the number of them it wouldn't take long through a process of elimination to identify him. :)

Oh look, OB gave me another thumbs down. :lol: :laughing3:

Is it your job to stick your nose in their business?

Get it?

She has an irrational hatred for Trump and the US generally. Based on her posts here - most accusations are slanderous and unfounded - it would be in her own best interests to see a psychologist and have herself tested. It's not normal. She would feel better about herself and others if she would let go of the hate.

And this is a picture of Pennywise - a movie character. He's not real, OB.

as long as they meddle in every corner of the world and that includes CDA.......they , by virtue of their interference encourage us (the world ) to be involved......even if just as a critical observer in their "business".

Not rocket science. ;-)



******

Any idea s as to who will be charged on Monday??

Seems that the muck is part of both parties.

And do folks here think that Trump will abort the investigation?/ or try to?? ( obstruction) It might not be easy to "fire" Meuller ....
