White House Secures Foreign Steel for Ballroom Project — NYT








NYT: President Trump has championed the U.S. steel industry, promising to strengthen it and to impose stiff tariffs on foreign metals to shield manufacturers from overseas competitors. Yet the White House has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for Mr. Trump’s $400 million ballroom project, according to two people familiar with the plans nytimes.com/2026/04/08/us/…















If Iran is able to charge $2 million per tanker, they're gonna make $280 million a day. That's $500 billion in five years. For comparison, the Obama administration gave Iran $1.7 billion in cash. Not great, guys.
