1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal says that new life has suddenly 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: come to Granite City, Illinois. Now. Two years ago, under Obama, 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: the United States Steel Corporation scaled down operations. Fifteen hundred 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: workers were laid off. Those layoffs had a ripple effect. 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Other businesses suffered to like companies that sold work boots 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: or delivered lunches to hungry employees. Within a year of 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: US Steel scaling back, twenty six other businesses closed. Granite City, 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: population thirty thousand, was crushed. But then President Trump announced 9 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: he was imposing tariffs on foreign steel imports, on products 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: made by companies that are often highly subsidized by foreign governments, 11 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: and suddenly things changed. US Steel announced that one of 12 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: the furnaces they'd shut down would be fired up again. 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: Five hundred workers were called back to work, some as 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: early as this week. Average salary is close to sixty 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Meanwhile, in The Washington Post, Katrina Van den 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Huvel urged readers not to be fooled by Trump's tariffs 17 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: because he's running a con.

Katrina, 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: don't worry that people are Grantite City and other towns 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: like it.
