ST. PAUL, Minn. – A Minnesota lawmaker who represents the Iron Range is criticizing the Trump Administration for using foreign steel on construction of the White House ballroom project.
Democratic Sen. Grant Hauschild of Hermantown called the move a “disgrace.”
“We’re seeing foreign steel used in one of the most iconic buildings in the world while Iron Range mines sit idle and hundreds of our steelworkers are out of work,” Hauschild said.
Hauschild is calling on federal leaders to reverse course and ensure that American-made steel is used in any future construction at the White House.
