Trump Says Wants to Revive Steel Jobs Even if it Takes Import Tariffs

by Reuters

   WASHINGTON --

   U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he wants to bring the steel
   industry back to America even if it means applying tariffs to imports
   from other countries.

   "I want to bring the steel industry back into our country.

   If that takes tariffs, let it take tariffs, OK? Maybe it will cost a
   little bit more, but we'll have jobs," Trump told a meeting at the
   White House with state governors.
   The U.S. Commerce Department has recommended Trump impose curbs on
   steel and aluminum imports from China and other countries. On Friday,
   the White House had said Trump has not yet made a final decision on the
   matter.
