‘Our Factories Were Left to Rot:' American Workers Thank Trump for Ending ‘Betrayal' of Unfair Trade
[Breitbart] American workers whose lives were uprooted by multinational free trade deals are thanking President Trump for signing into law tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to protect U.S. jobs.

In a series of videos by the White House, American workers thanked Trump for putting into place a 25 percent tariff on imported steel and a 10 percent tariff on imported aluminum, two moves that are designed to counteract decades of U.S. jobs readily moving overseas and displacement of U.S. workers due to multinational free trade deals. The video explains:
"Two years ago, we had to shut down 60 percent of our capacity," Dusty Stevens, the superintendent of Century Aluminum says in the video. "My father worked in the industry."

"My brother was also affected by the downturn of us having to shut down the lines," Stevens said. "He lost his job and he had a wife and family and a small child at home."

"With the tariffs being put on, we will benefit greatly from this and hopefully give our plant some longevity," Stevens continued. "Now this is giving us the capability of going back to full capacity. It’s the difference between losing 500 jobs and adding 300. So for my family, it gives us total confidence that I will be employed for many years to come versus only having a year or two left."

Scott Sauritch, a maintenance worker with U.S. steel said his father was in the steel industry and lost his job in the 1980’s due to imports, noting the toll it took on him and his five siblings whom his father had to support:
