.News Alert: Nippon Steel now owns 100% of US Steel, paying $14.1 billion. The company will also retain its name and Pittsburgh headquarters. This is a good deal for steelmaking in the USA. Trump was right to reverse Biden’s misguided decision.

Ag Sec Rollins said on CNN @Jaketapper today that the US exports no corn to Mexico & no dairy to Canada. Wrong on both counts. In 2024, we exported $5.6 billion in corn to Mexico and $1 billion in dairy to Canada. After Mexico & Canada retaliate, the Secretary could be right.🤦‍♂️.

Political earth quake in Lancaster County, PA. A state senate seat flipped that no Republican should ever lose. Lancaster has been the most reliable Republican County in PA for decades. Is anyone nationally paying attention? Watch the FL spec election for Mike Waltz seat.

So saddened by the passing of my former colleague, U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah. Such a kind and delightful person taken from us at such a young age. Condolences to Mia’s lovely family and many friends. Deepest sympathies.

Disgraceful display today in the Oval Office by DJT & JDV who bullied & disrespected Zelensky publicly. 80 years of transatlantic partnership is blown up to appease Putin. Trump betrayed Ukraine as well as American values & interests in Europe. The Greatest Generation weeps.

Trump has discarded 80 years of American leadership and engagement in Europe that has prevented Great Power conflict and WWIII. He undermined our country’s interests to betray Ukraine and appease Putin. Utterly dishonorable & shameful.

Trump’s detestable comments regarding Zelensky willfully ignore the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation who bequeathed to us a world without great power conflict for 8 decades. #Reprehensible.

Trump said Ukraine started the war with Russia. A truly shameful comment, a total betrayal of Ukraine & appeasement of Putin. Europe disrespected & America’s own self interest undermined by POTUS.

Yesterday Biden admin rightly approved a military sale (AMRAMMs) to Japan. Today Biden inexplicably blocked the Nippon-US Steel deal for national security reasons . Yesterday Japan was a key national security partner; today Japan is a national security threat. Absurdly shameful.

Attached is an oped I wrote for the Washington Examiner on Foreign Direct Investment & Nippon-US Steel deal.
washingtonexaminer.com
To overlook the tremendous benefits that foreign direct investment has brought to Pennsylvania and throughout the country would be malpractice.
