Trump's sweeping tariffs on steel will kill off some US steel jobs
Producers that melt and produce their own steel seen as winners but those reliant on imported raw materials are hit
Farrell, Pennsylvania
MICK Lang has been a steelworker for nearly 40 years and voted for businessman Donald Trump in the hopes he would bring about a renaissance for the long-suffering US steel industry - now he worries that President Trump's tariffs on imports of the metal will cost him his job.
"This is not what I voted for. I voted for Trump because I thought he'd straighten things out, not do something like this," said Mr Lang, 59, a third-generation steelworker, whose son also works at the same steel mill in Farrell in western Pennsylvania's Mercer County.
