Trump met with members of local steelworkers in PA during the campaign and several of them attended his rallies, most of them wound up voting for Trump. During those rallies and meetings with Trump he never once told them he opposed the sale of US Steel to a Japanese Steel company, something 95% of the union is in FAVOR of.
Trump now says he will block the sale, and the local union is pissed saying he lied to us, he used us, he never once told us he would block the deal. We need the deal to keep the steel mill viable. Note, Harris opposes the deal too, she just made the mistake of telling them the truth that she opposed it.
I actually think in the end Trump may well approve the deal, once the check from Japan is in his account
