Clinton and Trump understand the challenges in the steel industry

Among the rude remarks, it was noted that the two presidential candidates understand the challenges of the nation’s steel industry.

„A look at what’s happening with steel, its cost and the large quantities of dumped steel all over the United States of America. It basically shows that they are killing our steel mills,” Trump said during a debate. „We have to protect our companies.”

In response, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said:

„First of all, China illegally exports steel to the United States, and Donald Trump buys it to build his buildings, putting the business of American steel mills and steel plants at risk. It is a fact that I fought against as a senator. And I will have a trade prosecutor to make sure China doesn’t take advantage of you anymore.”

Regardless of which candidate is more credible, this was an important point. Although short, on the American political stage during which both candidates expressed understanding. On the challenges with a negative impact on production in the steel industry in Northwest Indiana.

Both Clinton and Trump have acknowledged unfair trade practices. By which foreign countries take advantage of undercut prices on US markets.

Among the myriad negatives of this campaign, Americans at least have the comfort of knowing that both candidates understand a major problem facing the U.S. And they seem to want to do something about it.
