Rep. Kelly joins President Trump at U.S. Steel event, applauds deal

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On Friday, May 30, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) joined President Donald J. Trump at a U.S. Steel facility in West Mifflin, Pa., just outside of Pittsburgh, in support of the President's announcement of a new partnership between U.S. Steel and Japanese-owned Nippon Steel.

The announcement comes after Rep. Kelly recently led a group of lawmakers during a meeting with President Trump at the White House to discuss the importance of U.S. Steel and the American steel industry in Western Pennsylvania.

"During the meeting with President Trump, I emphasized the important role U.S. Steel and the American steel industry play in Western Pennsylvania. On Friday, the President came to Pittsburgh with a clear message: U.S. Steel is here to stay," said Rep. Kelly. "From day one, President Trump has put American industry and American workers first. This is a win for Pennsylvania and for America."
