Trump Trade War - Tariffs a big plus for business - US Steel CEO

FOX Business quoted US Steel CEO Mr David Burritt as saying that President Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum have been beneficial for American metal producers. Mr Burritt during an exclusive interview with FOX Business’ Connell McShane said that “It’s taken this courageous president with a lot of support from a lot of people to do the right thing, get us a level playing field so that we can have fairer trade and it’s really been a big plus for us.”

Mr Burritt said that “But you see across the whole country, the number of blue-collar jobs that have increased. I think it’s the best. We're hiring all the time.”

He added that “Well we don't see it as negotiating tactic. We actually see these tariffs as being enduring for the foreseeable future.”

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, steel company has added 800 jobs and hired 400 people since the White House’s 25 percent import tax on steel was implemented this spring.
