    His rationale is to slowly bring that production back to the US. Can the US even make enough steel to meet its demand domestically?

    The theory is that it’ll hurt for 5 to 10 years but be economically beneficial in the long run.

      He doesn’t have rationale.

      He could just pass laws to require more steel production, even subsidise it, which would work faster and not be painful, but that kind of planning and forward thinking are beyond a conservative.
