Today, Under Secretary William Kimmitt joined Secretary of @ENERGY Chris Wright, Assistant Secretary Audrey Robertson, and Congressman @MikeKellyPA at @CLE_CLF's Butler Works in Butler, Pennsylvania, to celebrate the company’s $200 million investment in the mill.
Joined by Cleveland-Cliffs Chairman and CEO Lourenco Goncalves, UAW Local 3303 President Jamie Sychak, and hundreds of Butler Works employees, they celebrated an investment that will expand domestic production of grain-oriented electrical steel—critical to America’s electric grid.
This is exactly the kind of investment President Trump’s historic Section 232 actions are driving across American manufacturing.
As Goncalves himself recently stated: “Section 232 has been the single most effective industrial policy implemented in our country in a generation.”
The entire Trump Administration is committed to executing the President’s policy—supporting American workers, American manufacturing, and American industrial strength.
⚙️ Happy Manufacturing Month 🏭!
Manufacturing is an industry defined by ingenuity and innovation. Its impact is felt every day as it contributes $2.9 trillion to the U.S. economy, employs nearly 12.9 million American workers, and accounts for 11% of U.S. Gross Domestic Product. For ITA, this occasion also means underscoring our support for U.S. manufacturers as they compete and win around the globe!

On the margins of #UNGA in NYC, Under Secretary William Kimmitt celebrated two major rail commercial wins for Pittsburgh-based Wabtec Corporation. In Guinea, Wabtec’s success includes 140 locomotives, support services, and digital rail solutions totaling more than $1.2 billion. Wabtec and Kyrgyz Railway also signed a $53 million deal for up to 10 locomotives—strengthening critical transportation infrastructure and deepening U.S. commercial ties in strategically important Central Asia. Together, these deals support more than 4,800 American jobs. ITA’s Advocacy Center and @ExportGov played a key role in advancing these wins for American workers and strengthening U.S. leadership in advanced technology and manufacturing.
Last week, Under Secretary William Kimmitt joined @EximBankUS Chairman John Jovanovic and White House Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Global Supply Chain David Copley at Mesabi Metallics’ new $2.5 billion iron ore mine and pellet plant in Nashwauk, Minnesota. The visit included a demonstration blast at the mine as operations ramp up at the site.
The project represents the first new iron ore mine and pellet plant to start up in the United States in 50 years—a major investment in America’s industrial base and the upstream inputs essential to American steelmaking.
Under President Trump, the Administration has made strengthening domestic supply chains and expanding U.S. production of the raw materials that underpin American manufacturing a priority. From iron ore to finished steel, the Trump Administration is supporting efforts to bring the entire supply chain for this critical capability to the United States—and those efforts are already producing historic results.
