据白宫官员透露，唐纳德·特朗普总统将在周一的椭圆形办公室活动中宣布新建一座大型钢铁厂的计划。
The project will be built by Mesabi Metallics in Iowa.
该钢铁厂将由位于爱荷华州的Mesabi Metallics公司建造，该公司将投入150亿美元进行建设。
President Donald Trump will announce the construction of a massive new steel plant during an Oval Office event on Monday, a White House official said.
这是自20世纪60年代以来美国新建的第一个大型钢铁厂，预计首次产钢将在2030年实现，建成后将年产1000万吨钢铁，成为美国最大的钢铁厂之一。
The project, which will be built by Mesabi Metallics in Iowa, will command a $15 billion investment from the company and is the first mega-steel plant built in the United States since the 1960s, the official said. The first steel production is expected to be in 2030 and, once fully built out, will produce 10 million tons of steel annually, making it among the largest in the U.S.
Mesabi Metallics公司最近还在明尼苏达州投资了25亿美元用于新建一座铁矿石矿，这有助于实现从采矿到生产的完整产业链整合。
The company also recently invested $2.5 billion in a new iron ore mine in Minnesota, which the official said will allow the project to be fully integrated in the U.S. from mining to production. The mine is expected to produce 7.5 million tons of iron ore annually and will create 350 new jobs in Minnesota. Another 1,750 jobs are expected in Iowa, the official added.
该矿山预计每年可生产750万吨铁矿石，并为明尼苏达州创造350个就业岗位；同时，爱荷华州还将新增1750个就业机会。
"Today’s announcement underscores the President's historic efforts to revitalize the U.S. steel industry -- supporting local communities, strengthening supply chains, and protecting our national security," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement confirming the announcement.
白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯在声明中表示：‘今天的公告凸显了总统为振兴美国钢铁产业所做的历史性努力——支持当地社区、加强供应链并保护国家安全。’
Executives from Mesabi Metallics are expected to attend the event on Monday, as well as Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, Executive Director of the White House's National Energy Dominance Council Jarrod Agen and John Jovanovic, chairman of the U.S. Export-Import Bank.
Mesabi Metallics公司的高管以及商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克、白宫国家能源主导委员会执行主任贾罗德·阿根和美国进出口银行行长约翰·乔瓦诺维奇预计也将出席此次活动。’《华尔街日报》率先报道了这一项目的详细情况。
The Wall Street Journal first reported the details of the project.
该报指出，Mesabi Metallics公司得到了印度跨国企业Essar集团的支持，后者曾在20年前提出过该矿山和钢铁厂项目，但最终未能成功实施；该矿山项目在十年前申请了破产。
The Wall Street Journal noted that Mesabi Metallics is backed by the Essar Group, an Indian multinational conglomerate, which first proposed the mine and mill project 20 years ago, and ultimately failed. The mine project filed for bankruptcy a decade ago, the Wall Street Journal reported.
