华盛顿讯——据白宫一名官员透露，美国总统特朗普将于周一宣布，美国历史最大钢铁厂未来数年将在艾奥瓦州动工。
总统与总部位于明尼苏达州的米萨比金属公司（Mesabi Metallics）预计将于下午2点在椭圆形办公室公布这项耗资150亿美元的巨型钢铁厂计划，白宫将其称之为超级钢铁厂。这座工厂预计2030年投产，年产能可达750万吨及以上。一名白宫官员表示，该厂预计将为艾奥瓦州创造1750个永久性就业岗位。
《华尔街日报》率先报道了特朗普此次拟宣布新建钢铁厂的消息。
白宫发言人泰勒·罗杰斯（Taylor Rogers）称：“特朗普总统正在兑现其重振美国工业、推动制造业回流并创造新就业岗位的承诺。今日的公告彰显了总统为振兴美国钢铁业所做的历史性努力——支持当地社区、强化供应链并捍卫我们的国家安全。历经数十年衰退后，本届政府正在恢复美国的工业竞争力，并确保数万亿美元的新投资落地。”
米萨比金属公司高管、美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）以及美国进出口银行主席约翰·约万诺维奇（John Jovanovic）预计将出席椭圆形办公室的发布会。
面对海外竞争，新建钢铁厂计划是特朗普政府提振国内钢铁制造业的最新举措，也是总统贸易议程的核心内容。去年，特朗普将进口钢铁关税翻倍至50%，钢铁关税也成为美加持续贸易争端的一部分。
米萨比金属公司尚未公布钢铁厂在艾奥瓦州的具体选址。一名白宫官员表示，这将是自20世纪60年代以来美国首座巨型钢铁厂。
该厂所需的铁矿石——铁矿石是炼钢的主要原材料——将来自米萨比金属公司位于明尼苏达州的一座新矿，该矿投资达25亿美元。
特朗普政府预计，未来这批钢材可用于支持美国国防项目。
此次公告发布距中期选举不到40天，艾奥瓦州共和党人正面临国会众议院和参议院的激烈选战。

Trump to announce largest steel plant in U.S. history will be built in Iowa
2026-09-28 10:38 AM EDT / CBS News
Washington — President Trump on Monday is set to announce that the largest steel plant in U.S. history will be built in Iowa over the coming years, a White House official said.
The president and the Minnesota-based company Mesabi Metallics are expected to unveil the company’s $15 billion plans in the Oval Office at 2 p.m. for what the White House is calling a mega steel plant. Once it’s up and running in 2030, the plant is expected to produce 7.5 million or more tons of steel per year. A White House official said the plant is expected to create 1,750 permanent jobs in Iowa.
The Wall Street Journal was first to report the president’s anticipated announcement of the new steel plant.
“President Trump is delivering on his promise to rebuild American industry, re-shore manufacturing, and create new jobs,” said White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers. “Today’s announcement underscores the President’s historic efforts to revitalize the U.S. steel industry — supporting local communities, strengthening supply chains, and protecting our national security. After decades of decline, this president is restoring America’s industrial competitiveness and securing trillions of dollars in new investment.”
Mesabi Metallics executives, along with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Export-Import Bank Chairman John Jovanovic, are expected to be in the Oval Office for the announcement.
Plans for the new plant are the Trump administration’s latest move to boost domestic steel manufacturing in the face of overseas competition, a centerpiece of the president’s trade agenda. Last year, he doubled tariffs on imported steel to 50%, and steel levies have been part of the ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and Canada.
Mesabi has yet to announce where in Iowa the steel plant will be. A White House official said this will be the first mega steel plant built in the U.S. since the 1960s.
The iron ore for the plant — iron ore is a primary raw material for making steel — will come from Mesabi Metallics’s new $2.5 billion iron ore mine in Minnesota.
The Trump administration expects the steel could support U.S. defense projects in the future.
The announcement comes less than 40 days before the midterms, with Iowa Republicans facing competitive races in the U.S. House and Senate.
