Trump to announce largest steel plant in U.S. history will be built in Iowa
- On Monday, President Donald Trump will announce a $15 billion plan by Minnesota-based Mesabi Metallics to build a steel plant in Iowa over the coming years, a White House official said.
- The project will feature full vertical integration, utilizing iron ore from Mesabi's new $2.5 billion Minnesota mine, with the facility expected to reach 10 million tons of steel annually by 2030.
- Construction is expected to support 5,000 to 6,000 jobs, while the plant will create at least 1,750 permanent positions in Iowa and support U.S. defense projects, officials said.
- The announcement arrives less than 40 days before midterm elections, with Iowa Republicans facing competitive races as the administration highlights the investment to promote domestic manufacturing.
- Last year, the administration doubled tariffs on imported steel to 50%, and steel levies remain part of ongoing trade disputes the White House aims to address through domestic investment.
