The Biden administration's policies are under scrutiny following significant impacts on the steel industry, particularly affecting Ohio-based Cleveland Cliffs and Weirton Steel Plant in West Virginia. Cleveland Cliffs, a dominant player in the electrical steel market, faces challenges due to a preference for European and Chinese amorphous steel, as highlighted by Rep. Warren Davidson, who mentioned legislation HR7171. Meanwhile, a Department of Energy rule threatens 1,300 jobs at Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works steel plant, prompting Rep. Mike Kelly to invite Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for explanations, with coverage from @WPXI. Additionally, the administration's rejection of Nippon Steel's bid for U.S. Steel on ‘National Security Grounds’ and the decision not to impose tariffs have led to the closure of Weirton Steel Plant, resulting in the loss of 900 jobs, as noted by Rep. Alex Mooney. This closure marks the end for a plant that once employed 10K workers and leaves the US with only one blast furnace capable of producing tin plate steel, as criticized by commentators including #CatoTrade.
Today's closure is an absolute blow to our hardworking West Virginia steelworkers & the Weirton community. More than 10,000 people worked at Weirton Steel 30 years ago. Today, the last 900 workers just lost their jobs. Victims of President Biden & Democrats' Green agenda. 1/3 https://t.co/LtvgWzbnWG
What a tragedy that is happening in Weirton WV…. Biden and the globalist elites got their way with no tariffs imposed and now the US will be left with one blast furnace that can produce tin plate steel in the entire COUNTRY. China wins again, and Americans lose. https://t.co/bUsk9Pel25
Per @TedAFischer photo of last lineup at Cleveland Cliff’s Weirton Steel Plant that employed 1OK workers from PA West Virginia & Ohio at 1 time. It’s so heartbreaking the collateral damage this has on communities. Biden admin ITC decision led to closure https://t.co/ltNrbv49W1 https://t.co/GlzIrSd8Ds

The Biden administration’s rejection of Nippon Steel’s bid for U.S. Steel underscore the incoherence of the administration’s industrial policy, the Editorial Board writes. https://t.co/otf8RW055H
If President Biden were concerned about the vitality of US Steel, as well as the US steel industry and the US economy more broadly, he’d quietly let Nippon Steel’s bid to acquire the company proceed. https://t.co/gnd481yMuw #CatoTrade https://t.co/LqDYTbgvqY
1,300 jobs at Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works steel plant are at risk due to a Dept. of Energy rule. Now, we are inviting @ENERGY Secretary Jennifer Granholm to explain her department's decision to the Butler community. More coverage from @WPXI ⬇ https://t.co/Sy8VSm1XJ2

Ohio-based Cleveland Cliffs dominates the electrical steel market. Sadly, the Biden Admin is actively working ban American uniform-grain electrical steel in favor of European and Chinese amorphous steel. It shouldn’t take legislation to stop this madness, nevertheless HR7171-> https://t.co/kwaBGPNeDq
