Trump announces $15 billion Mesabi Metallics steel plant in Iowa

President Donald Trump announced that Mesabi Metallics will construct a $15 billion steel plant in eastern Iowa. The White House describes the project as the largest in American history. While production is not expected to begin until 2030, officials state the facility will eventually produce approximately 10 million tons of steel annually and sustain 1,750 permanent jobs.

During the Oval Office event, video footage captured the 80-year-old president appearing to struggle to stay awake, with his chin resting on a binder while his eyes were closed. The event also included political rhetoric, with Trump mocking a political rival and making claims regarding previous election results.
