The SF Transbay Transit Center used Chinese steel like most other projects during Hussein’s term. The current narrative of “American Steel” is misleading as the Steel Beam’s fabricator is SKANSKA USA, but the raw material could have come from anywhere, and get this, many port authority projects (SF/Oakland Bay Bridge) and many SKANSKA contracts from 2012 to current used extensive quantities of Chinese Steel. IT WAS ENCOURAGED.
Remember SF/Oakland Bay Bridge project in 2013? It used Chinese Steel for entire sections of span that were then assembled on-site. Same for NJ (Bayonne Bridge), NY (Verrazano-Narrows Bridge)
