President Donald Trump on Saturday that his controversial tariffs will bring back the U.S. steel industry, as he campaigned in Pennsylvania steel country for a Republican congressional candidate in a tight race. Trump?s appearance was aimed at helping Republican Rick Saccone in a district Trump won overwhelmingly in 2016 as part of a narrow win in Pennsylvania. Trump spent a lot of time talking about his own fortunes in a ?Make America Great Again? rally for Saccone in an airport hangar at the Pittsburgh International Airport. A day after getting news that the U.S. economy produced 313,000 jobs last month, Trump said his policies are paying off. He said 25 percent tariffs on steel imports will help boost Pennsylvania?s economy. Critics say the tariffs could trigger retaliatory trade measures and damage the U.S. economy. There are also doubts about how far Trump?s policies will go toward resuscitating the battered American steel industry. Trump vowed to fight any retaliatory trade measures by, for example, slapping taxes on imported European cars.
