We have to eat our way down the pile some more first.When's he gonna promise us all a pony?
For this steel plant to "generate an estimated $95b over the next decade" it will need to remain cost competitive with foreign steel imports, and that will presumably require Trump tariffs to remain in place for the whole decade. How likely does that seem?
…with the additional burden of tariffs on the raw materials (iron ore, coke, ferroalloys) only available from international markets.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure they'd cut corners and produce inferior steel, in order to maximize profits. That's the American way!And even if it works, the whole scheme will ultimately be funded by US buyers paying more for their steel than the rest of the world does.
Is it only me who thinks the word "allegedly" in there makes the whole brag look super weak?FBI Director Kash Patel

Foreign adversaries take note: America is no longer a safe place to run your espionage operations.
Allegedly surveil a foreign leader’s family on U.S. soil for the PRC and try to catch a flight back to Shanghai?
Not happening.
This FBI is hunting threats to our national security wherever they hide — and bringing them to justice.

For that steel mill to generate $95bn in revenue over the next ten years (assuming steel production starting today), it would have to capture more than half the world market in steel production, which is currently valued at $17.62bn.
So Kash has gotten rid of all the competent spy hunters then.FBI Director Kash Patel
