Trump Announces Plans for $15 Billion Mesabi Metallics Steel Plant in Iowa, the Largest in US History
Read this in the Market Flux appPresident Donald Trump unveiled plans Monday for a $15 billion steel plant in Iowa to be built by Mesabi Metallics, which would be the largest steel facility in US history. The announcement was made during an Oval Office event attended by Mesabi Metallics CEO Joe Broking and Chairman Rewant Ruia, along with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Export-Import Bank Chairman John Jovanovic.
The plant is projected to create 6,000 construction jobs and 1,750 permanent positions, with steelmaking operations targeted to begin by 2030.
