Trump announces $15 billion Mesabi Metallics steel plant planned for Iowa, citing 2,000 jobs

President Trump announced Monday that Mesabi Metallics plans to build a $15 billion steel plant in Iowa, which the White House called the largest steel plant in American history. Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson joined Trump for the Oval Office announcement. Gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn, who supports the project, did not attend due to a prior fundraising commitment, saying it would bring nearly 2,000 manufacturing jobs to the state.
