White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - VP print pool report: Middletown trip, Part 2
Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman and CEO, Cleveland-Cliffs, has greeted the crowd and discussed the company’s plans to redirect $500 million in clean steel funding to coal. William Kimmitt, Under Secretary, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, said a nation that can’t produce its own steel can’t ensure its own future.
We are expecting the vice president to deliver his remarks on the Trump Administration’s America First economic agenda to a crowd of plant workers, family, friends and VIPs gathered in a large warehouse under a Defend Our Future banner. Workers in bleachers flanking the stage are wearing bright orange protective shifts and yellow hard hats.
