one of the things i'm very proud of is the steel industry. the steel industry was dead. it was as dead as a doornail. we weren't going to have a steel industry in two years, if you look at what happened. used to be our great industry. united states steel was our biggest company many years ago and there was nothing even like it. it was a juggernaut. it was a powerful, powerful company. you look at what's happened to our industry and it's gone down, really gone down the tubes. we literally, and you need steel. there are certain industries we can actually do without and we can buy but you have to have steel and aluminum. i put a very substantial penalty on what was happening because other countries were destroying our steel industry and in addition to collecting a lot of money, which we are collecting on the tariffs where we put tariffs on the dumping of steel and aluminum, 25% on steel, 10% on aluminum, we are, i mean, these industries, it's incredible what's going on. u.s. steel is building many plants and expanding many plants. new corps is building, these are new plants

the steel. so who can file? it's interesting, that because the only people who can file are entities that can file are individuals or organizations that use the steel and aluminum articles in business activities. for example, construction, manufacturing or supply steel or aluminum to users in the united states. that means that sometimes they are not the importer to the importer of record. when you're not the importer you don't always have all the information that you need to fill out on this form. so it is a little complicated and a little foreign person who may be making the request. if you get incorrect information, you could give incorrect information, for example, if you give a wrong harmonized terror schedule number, that is the basis for rejection of your request. in all fairness you can refile but it's taken a really long time to get answers. initially secretary ross said that he would issue decisions within 90 days. that really didn't happen as evidenced by the 42,000 requests. in the re

it was bad steel. it was not structurally good. -- creating aing fine quality steel. which to me is a very important thing. what we have done with the steel industry in a very short period of time, over the last year, is -- they talk about it all over the world. we have a steel industry again. it is really roaring. it has really been able to transpired. the cutting of the corporate rate, the cutting of the individual rates, repatriation of money back from overseas, back to our shores, 100% capital expensing has been a tremendous boom for the economy. one of the elements that we have talked about a lot in this room that is very exciting and that treasury secretary mnuchin just put out guidance on, in tax reform, there was also opportunity. that was passed. that will uplift and the governors have designated over 3900 opportunity zones. the stressed, urban, and rural communities. it incentivize investment in those communities. the private sector to go and be incentivized to invest where otherwise they would have avoided. in addition to tax cuts, that is another element t

and they dump a lot of garbage -- steel. sand steel, mud steel, bad steel -- not strong steel. and then we use it to fabricate beams for buildings and parts for airplanes, and they find it's no good. and in many cases, they don't know about until long afterwards, and in some cases when it's too late. so now we're taxing them, and very, very heavily. and what's happening is the steel industry is thriving. i mean, literally, in a period of a year, the steel industry is just a hot industry right now. so it's been a great thing to see. thank you very much. vice president, do you have anything to say? mike? vice president pence: thank you, mr. president. i just want to thank these six great americans for coming in and helping to tell the story of this economic boom of 4.2 million new jobs created and new signed legislation to pass the largest tax cut and tax reform in american history. but what you and i both hear as we travel around the country is what we heard again this morning, the fact that this president and this congress has actually passed more laws repealing federal red tap

and crisis averted for now coffee years of turmoil german steel giantess and coke splits into names a new c.e.o. will be talking to him on the program. this is your biz. this update i'm headed home free in berlin thanks for joining me the united states and canada have agreed to a deal to replace the north american free trade agreement that's according to a us administration official who said it will go by a new name that being the united states mexico canada agreement canada had risked being frozen out of the deal reached between the u.s. and mexico to update now to but eleventh hour talks between also and washington guaranteed that all three of us will be in the new version of the trade pact is erroneous or is it a good deal very is it a good deal for going to good day for canada ok i'm certainly not justin trudeau was in good spirits after a cabinet meeting in ottawa once the final stumbling blocks had been removed there will be no tariffs on the two point six million cars that are made in canada and sold in the u.s. but there was still no sign of an agreement on tariffs on canadian

steel, they just announced a billion-dollar plant. u.s. steel is building eight or nine plants. i don't think there's any industry like what happened to steel in the last nine months.

steel stock is a mistake.n in new york, john >> caller: hey, jim, john from albany, new york >> good to have you on the show. what's up, john? >> caller: a question about international paper, which i bought on fundamentals and for the dividend it's down about 40% for the year, and i heard there's a chinese company building a competing paper plant in the u.s. given this new competition and market volatility, do you recommend holding, selling >> the yield is fine, the stock is up today, because this was thrown out along with the whole group as if they were going to be losing a lot. it's untrue, and it's a great situation at these prices, although it's up so much this morning. but i do like it albert in florida, albert. >> caller: hey, boo-yah, old friend >> boo-yah >> caller: hey, you know, i had a late great aunt that was retired from boston university, economics professor. she used to have me get the paper every day and come over and watch you and kudlow when you first started your show. best education i ever

steel, which gets rolled into coil and plates. they also loan two plants in canada, combined, are the largest steel producers in canada. they are getting triple tariffs. 25% in the cvb account. when i bring it in, they roll it. another 25% going into canada. then canada sends the steel to the manufacturers in the u.s., and they get tariffs again. maybe those are unintended consequences. they are just now opening up their pipe mill. fun of a low blow with these as theyts -- tariffs try to expand all of these jobs and have to pay triple. guest: the trump administration's first big trade policy was putting tariffs on steel and aluminum. one of the major things they cited was national security reasons. the steel industry for number of years have had profitability problems, it's in the national interest to have a steel industry, so therefore the administration needed to institute tariffs so there could be more profitability. one of the things we have seen in the last few weeks is the benefit to the trip protection have not been trickli
