The last time we (G.W. Bush) put tariffs on steel, it took the U.S. steel industry 10 years to recover once the tariffs were lifted. It was too expensive and hard to just create new steel mills, so the industry nearly never recovered.
Trump is not benefitting the common Utahn, nor will we see any relief in years to come. What he is doing is irreversible in many ways, at a minimum, and very destructive. Donald Trump’s tariffs need to end now!
