Ohio steelworkers and politicians like Sen. Sherrod Brown and Mike Kelly are opposing the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, citing concerns about protecting American jobs and national security. The potential merger is seen as a threat to American steel production and could provide leverage to China. Gov. Shapiro has bipartisan support to save jobs at the Butler Works plant in Butler County despite ongoing challenges. Kari Lake pledges to bring back American jobs if elected to the Senate, emphasizing an 'America First' approach.
When I’m in the Senate, There will be no more shipping American jobs overseas—I will vote to return our jobs, plants, and companies to America! America First means America First. https://t.co/vVD83GWJ3W
When the Administration tried to create new regulations that would have destroyed Ohio steel manufacturing & sent more jobs overseas, we said "no way." I will always fight for Ohio workers & Ohio manufacturers. https://t.co/wFtxrPHodY
We have to protect American workers. Selling one of our nation’s most historic companies to a foreign buyer that has shown no interest in respecting steelworkers’ hard-fought contracts is a nonstarter. https://t.co/3aKz103ZWz
I appreciate Gov. Shapiro’s bipartisan support of our years-long effort to save the Butler Works plant and 1,300 family-sustaining jobs in Butler County. But let’s be clear: the Department of Energy rule has not changed. The threat to these jobs remains. https://t.co/Cns6nZ3tlh
Trying to block the U.S. Steel merger not only imperils a relationship with a crucial ally but also provides an increasingly belligerent #China with another means of leverage, writes Heino Klinck. https://t.co/2w7vE5AGDA
Ohio steelworkers are against the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel. I’m here with workers & management at Cleveland-Cliffs today to raise the alarm. We must keep American steel production in the hands of companies that value their greatest asset: American workers. https://t.co/wwGuF4606N
