Western Pennsylvania, once the hub of America’s steel industry, now faces a steep decline, with manufacturing jobs dropping from 300,000 to 80,000. Trump’s tariffs, introduced within his first 100 days of his second term, aim to revive the sector, but critics argue they are too broad, creating market uncertainty and straining trade ties. Economists and steelworkers note that restoring jobs lost over decades of offshoring will take years, leaving many workers outside the industry waiting for a revival that may arrive too late.
