Nucor in Auburn praises Trump for imposing tariffs on steel imports

President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on steel imports has been endorsed by Nucor in Auburn.

Drew Wilcox, vice president and general manager of Nucor Steel in Auburn, lauded Trump after the president’s announcement Thursday that the U.S. would impose tariffs on steel imports.
