President Donald Trump claimed Monday that America's steel industry has revived and attributed this to his economic policy and decisions. American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), in its latest report, said that the US' steel mills operated above 80 per cent of their capacity last week.

Its Chief Executive Officer Thomas J Gibson said that tariffs on foreign steel have been saving US jobs. Trump said in a tweet: "Our steel industry is the talk of the World. It has been given new life, and is thriving. Billions of dollars is being spent on new plants all around the country!"
