Mr. Trump returned to that promise repeatedly, noting last week’s announcement by U.S. Steel that it would lay off up to one-quarter of its non-union workforce. The company has cited imports from China and slumping demand for pipe from the natural gas industry.
“We’re going to build United States Steel back,” Mr. Trump said. And as he has done throughout the campaign, Mr. Trump blamed declining U.S. manufacturing employment on poorly negotiated trade deals.
