Steel Dynamics announced that it will build a brand new 3 million ton steel mill in the Southwest that will create 600 good-paying U.S. JOBS. Steel JOBS are coming back to America, just like I predicted. Congratulations to Steel Dynamics!

General Motors made a big China bet years ago when they built plants there (and in Mexico) - don’t think that bet is going to pay off. I am here to protect America’s Workers!

(Example) → "Offshoring" of the American Aluminum Production Industry that I witnessed first-hand over the last 30yrs; which started to accelerate about 10yrs ago.

Check out these numbers:
Yearly Production - (Thousand Metric Tonnes of Aluminum)
(1990 - 2001) North America = (6500) → Avg each year
(1998 -1999) China = (194) → no data pre -1998
(2001 - 2002)
North America = (5659)
China = (3686)
(2002 - 2003)
North America = (5889)
China = (4735)
(2003 -2004)
North America = (5948)
China = (6047)
(2004 - 2005)
North America = (5529)
China = (7274)
(2005 - 2006)
North America = (5838)
China = (8,495)
(2006 - 2007)
North America = (5794)
China = (10,289)
(2007 - 2008)
North America = (6140)
China = (13,688)
(2008 - 2009)
North America = (6238)
China = (14,540)
(2009 - 2010)
North America = (5158)
China = (15,136)
(2010 - 2011)
North America = (5094)
China = (18,809)
(2011 - 2012)
North America = (5376)
China = (21,909)
(2012 - 2013)
North America = (5276)
China = (25,685)
(2013 - 2014)
North America = (5317)
China = (28,845)
(2014 - 2015)
North America = (4970)
China = (30,900)
(2015 - 2016)
North America = (4837)
China = (34,083)
(2016 - 2017)
North America = (4364)
China = (35,901)
(2017 - 2018)
North America = (4272)
China = (38,898)
Most other Major Industrial Production numbers paint a similar picture of the Massive shift to China in the last 30yrs.
