President Donald Trump announced that he will be doubling tariffs on steel to 50% during a Pittsburgh rally at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works on Friday.

“We are going to be imposing a 25% increase. We’re going to bring it from 25% to 50% the tariffs on steel into the United States of America, which will even further secure the steel industry in the United States,” Trump stated.

President Trump also assured that the iconic American company, U.S. Steel, will remain an American owned company following an 18-month long effort by Nippon Steel, a Japanese steelmaker, to buy-out the company.
