Today in history: On May 30, 2024, Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.

NE Ohio community welcomes imported steel tariffs after losing manufacturing jobs
CANTON, Ohio (WJW) – The Republic Steel plant at one time had as many as 2,500 employees. When it was officially closed down in 2023, there were about 500. Mexico-based Grupo Simec, which bought Republic Steel in 2005, moved the jobs to a new 'state of the art' plant in Mexico, closing plants in Massillon and Lorain as well. The company cited competitive market pricing, the rising cost of raw materials and labor costs as contributing factors. Investigation underway after 40-car fire in Lorain At the time, union representatives were furious and wanted the United States government to do something to stop the country from importing steel. 'The government needs to step in and say 'hey, enough is enough. You are not going to do that, you are not bringing… steel made in Mexico to the United States,'' said Todd Fitzgibbon, the president of United Steel Workers local 1200 at the time. Linda Vincent has lived across from the plant for 18 years and remembers the bustle there in better times. 'People lost their jobs and some of them don't know how to pay their bills and they have got to start all over again with another job and a new location if they have to move. So yeah, it's been really hard on a lot of these people,' Vincent told FOX 8 on Monday. In February, President Trump signed an executive order restoring a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum coming into the United States, regardless of its origin. 'Our nation requires steel and aluminum to be made in America, not in foreign lands. We need to create, in order to protect our country's future, the resurgence of American manufacturing and production. The likes of which has not been seen for many decades,' said Trump when signing the order. Trump said he signed similar tariffs during his first term in the White House, but in the past four years, there have been exceptions worked into the order which have cost the United States tens of thousands of jobs. 'We have lost 107,000 jobs and remember these aren't just general jobs. These are steelworkers in America and now you are going to bring them back,' said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Cleveland church replaces tornado-damaged roof, holds first Sunday service Even if Republic Steel were to bring jobs back to the United States that were transplanted to Mexico, there is no guarantee that its plants or any part of them in Ohio would be reopen. Burt Brown, who has owned the Brick City Lounge across the street from the Canton plant for the past 22 years, says during that time, he has made friends with many of the steelworkers who have visited his business. He is in favor of doing whatever can be done to bring jobs back or preserve the jobs that are still here, but he would like for them to be good paying jobs. 'Is it going to be a whole new crew? he asked on Monday. 'Are they going to start them off at $3 an hour or is it going to be a decent wage like it was when the guys got thrown out of there?' The steel and aluminum tariffs are expected to be in effect beginning on Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
