Why it matters
The Delta, Ohio, operation supports 183 skilled manufacturing jobs. Scott Jones argued that tariffs are necessary to allow domestic manufacturing to compete against Chinese steel in both the U.S. and Canada. U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur expressed concern over the trade conflict between the two nations.
