特朗普总统周一将公布在爱荷华州建设一座大型钢铁厂的计划，白宫称这将成为美国历史上最大的钢铁厂，并承诺将为该州带来1750个永久性工作岗位。
President Donald Trump is unveiling Monday plans for a massive steel plant in Iowa that the White House says will be the largest in American history and promises will bring 1,750 permanent jobs to the state.
这座耗资约150亿美元的钢铁厂被吹捧为一项重大新投资，也是特朗普经济议程正将重工业制造业带回美国的证据，距离中期选举仅剩一个多月。其第一阶段将创造5000至6000个建筑岗位。
The roughly $15 billion steel plant is touted as a major new investment and evidence Trump's economic agenda is bringing heavy manufacturing back to the U.S. with just over a month until the midterms. It will create between 5,000 and 6,000 construction jobs during its first phase.
一位白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，特朗普预计将于下午2点在椭圆形办公室，与Mesabi Metallics公司的高管一同宣布这一消息。该公司计划利用其在明尼苏达州新建矿山的铁矿石来建设该设施。
Trump is expected to make the announcement from the Oval Office at 2 p.m. alongside executives from Mesabi Metallics, a White House official told Fox News Digital. The company plans to build the facility using iron ore from its newly constructed mine in Minnesota.
参议员凯文·克拉默：中国为战争而建，美国却在等待许可证。根据白宫消息，爱荷华工厂第一阶段预计年产钢材750万吨，最终将达到年产1000万吨。政府表示，这将使其成为美国有史以来建设的最大钢铁厂。
SEN KEVIN CRAMER: CHINA BUILDS FOR WAR WHILE AMERICA WAITS ON PERMITS The Iowa plant is expected to produce 7.5 million tons of steel annually in its first phase before eventually reaching 10 million tons per year, according to the White House. The administration says that would make it the largest steel plant ever built in the U.S.
如果按计划完成，该项目将代表美国炼钢产能的重大扩张。按规划的年产1000万吨计算，爱荷华工厂单独产量将相当于美国整个钢铁行业去年总产量的十分之一左右。
If completed as planned, the project would represent a significant expansion of American steelmaking capacity. At its planned 10 million tons of annual production, the Iowa plant alone would have output equivalent to roughly one-tenth of what the entire U.S. steel industry produced last year.
根据白宫说法，该项目还将创建一个完全国内的供应链，利用Mesabi在明尼苏达州开采的铁矿石在爱荷华州生产成品钢材。
The project would also create a fully domestic supply chain, according to the White House, using iron ore mined at Mesabi's Minnesota operation to produce finished steel in Iowa.
但周一宣布的这一规模也伴随着漫长的时间表：Mesabi预计爱荷华设施要到2030年才能生产出第一批钢材。
But the scale of Monday's announcement also comes with a long timeline: Mesabi does not expect the Iowa facility to produce its first steel until 2030.
特朗普经常强调巨额投资承诺，作为其关税和其他经济政策鼓励企业在美国而非海外建厂投资的证据。政府已宣布来自外国政府和企业的数千亿美元计划投资，其中许多旨在在未来几年内逐步落地。
Trump has frequently highlighted large investment commitments as evidence that his tariffs and other economic policies are encouraging companies to build in the United States rather than invest abroad. The administration has announced hundreds of billions of dollars in planned investments from foreign governments and corporations, many of which are designed to unfold over several years.
Mesabi在明尼苏达州的项目也凸显了大型工业项目可能面临的挑战。该项目可追溯至近二十年前，在Essar Steel Minnesota于2016年申请第11章破产保护前，经历了多年的融资困难和错过截止日期。后来它以Mesabi Metallics的身份走出破产，Essar最终重新获得控制权。
Mesabi's Minnesota operation also illustrates the challenges that can accompany large industrial projects. The project traces back nearly two decades and encountered years of financing problems and missed deadlines before Essar Steel Minnesota filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2016. It later emerged from bankruptcy as Mesabi Metallics, and Essar eventually regained control.
此后该项目取得了实质性进展。Mesabi已在明尼苏达州项目启动采矿和调试工作，尽管商业球团生产尚未开始。一家持有该项目特许权益的公司近期向SEC提交的文件显示，初步DR级球团生产目标定在2026年第四季度，随后将进行为期8至12个月的爬坡期以达到商业生产。
The project has since made substantial progress. Mesabi has begun mining and commissioning work at the Minnesota operation, although commercial pellet production has not yet begun. A recent SEC filing by a company that holds a royalty interest in the project said initial DR-grade pellet production is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2026, followed by an eight- to 12-month ramp-up to commercial production.
白宫表示，明尼苏达州项目最终将实现年产750万吨，并创造约350个长期就业岗位。
The White House says the Minnesota operation will ultimately produce 7.5 million tons annually and create roughly 350 permanent jobs.
政府还在强调爱荷华州项目的国家安全意义。据白宫称，新工厂将具备生产满足国防部门需求的高端钢材的能力，因为华盛顿正寻求加强军方和关键基础设施所用材料的国内供应链。"特朗普总统正在兑现他重振美国工业、让制造业回流和创造新就业岗位的承诺，"白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯对福克斯新闻数字版表示。
The administration is also emphasizing the national security implications of the Iowa project. The new plant will be capable of producing high-grade steel used to meet defense-sector requirements , according to the White House, as Washington seeks to strengthen domestic supply chains for materials used by the military and critical infrastructure. "President Trump is delivering on his promise to rebuild American industry, reshore manufacturing, and create new jobs," White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital.
“今天的声明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、强化供应链、保障国家安全，”罗杰斯表示。“经过数十年的衰退，这位总统正在恢复美国的工业竞争力，并锁定数万亿美元的新投资。”该声明发布之际，特朗普正将关税作为鼓励企业在美国制造的工具。去年，特朗普将钢铁和铝进口关税提高一倍至50%，辩称保护国内生产商免受更便宜的外国竞争对手冲击，将重建一个对经济和国家安全至关重要的产业。
"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," Rogers said. "After decades of decline, this President is restoring America’s industrial competitiveness and securing trillions of dollars in new investment." The announcement comes as Trump points to tariffs as a tool for encouraging companies to manufacture in the United States. Trump doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum imports to 50% last year, arguing that protecting domestic producers from cheaper foreign competition would rebuild an industry critical to the economy and national security.
特朗普的再工业化议程面临最大障碍——美国民众 该政策也增加了消费钢铁企业的成本。标普全球报告称，联邦数据显示，2025年4月至2026年4月期间，铁和钢价格上涨了10.4%，钢厂产品指数攀升13.3%，尽管国内钢铁产量有所增加。
TRUMP’S REINDUSTRIALIZATION AGENDA FACES ITS BIGGEST HURDLE — AMERICANS The policy has also increased costs for companies that consume steel. S&P Global reported that federal data showed prices for iron and steel rose 10.4% between April 2025 and April 2026, while the steel mill products index climbed 13.3%, even as domestic steel production increased.
与许多较新的美国钢铁设施不同，后者多为规模较小的电弧炉工厂，爱荷华州项目将是一个大型综合钢铁设施。白宫表示，这将是自20世纪60年代以来美国建设的首座新“超级钢铁”工厂。
Unlike many newer U.S. steel facilities, which are smaller electric arc furnace plants, the Iowa project will be a large-scale integrated steel facility. The White House says it will be the first new "mega-steel" plant built in the United States since the 1960s.
据政府方面称，钢铁厂一期工程和明尼苏达州矿山合计投资近180亿美元。白宫估计，一期工程在建设期及工厂投产前十年内将创造约950亿美元的经济活动。
The first phase of the steel plant and the Minnesota mine together represent nearly $18 billion in investment, according to the administration. The White House estimates the first phase will generate approximately $95 billion in economic activity during construction and the plant's first decade of operation.
预计特朗普将于周一的声明中，与商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克、国家能源主导委员会执行主贾罗德·艾根、进出口银行主席约翰·乔瓦诺维奇，以及Mesabi Metallics公司主席雷万特·鲁伊亚、董事会成员普拉尚特·鲁伊亚和首席执行官乔·布罗金共同出席。
Trump is expected to be joined for Monday's announcement by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, National Energy Dominance Council Executive Director Jarrod Agen and Export-Import Bank Chairman John Jovanovic, along with Mesabi Metallics Chairman Rewant Ruia, board member Prashant Ruia and CEO Joe Broking.
