Trump Uses Foreign Steel for White House Ballroom Contradicting America First Slogan
Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized President Trump, highlighting a report that a European company, ArcelorMittal, allegedly donated foreign steel for the construction of a White House ballroom. This move contrasts with Trump’s past advocacy for American steel and imposition of tariffs on foreign imports to protect domestic manufacturers. Newsom juxtaposed this with California opening its first new steel plant in 50 years, sarcastically questioning if the administration’s new slogan should be “Make America Luxembourg Again?” The White House defended the project, stating it is being completed at no cost to taxpayers and accusing critics of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” while declining to comment on the specifics of materials due to security concerns.
