Trump announced the construction of the largest steel plant in the United States for $ 15 billion

On September 28, US President Donald Trump announced the creation of the “largest steel plant in American history.” It will be built in Iowa by the American corporation Mesabi Metallics. In a statement, the White House reported that the total amount of the project is estimated at $ 15 billion. The plant is scheduled to be launched by 2030. Production on it should reach 10 million tons of steel per year.

Media outlets, including NBC News and The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), note that the statement was made by Donald Trump a few weeks before the congressional elections. Iowa, which Trump easily won in 2024, is among the states that have drifted away from the Republican Party. The event at which the US president announced the plant was also attended by several local Republicans, including congressional candidates.
