TRUMP: "U.S. Steel is opening up seven plants." — remarks Thursday at the Pennsylvania rally. On Tuesday: "Thanks to our tariffs, our steel workers are back on the job, American steel mills are back open for business ... U.S. Steel just announced that they're building six new steel mills." — Florida rally.
THE FACTS: No, U.S. Steel has not announced six, or seven, new steel mills. A spokeswoman for the Pittsburgh-based company, Meghan Cox, declined to comment on Trump's claim, only making clear that any "operational changes" such as the opening of new mills would be "publicly announced" and "made available on our website" if it occurred.
