I am afraid that we are going to lose the 8th District [View all]

From a story today in the strib, about how farmers are worried about the trade war but not the miners:

Trump’s tariffs are meant to revive the U.S. steel and aluminum industries. They are cause for celebration for Minnesota miners on the Iron Range, as well as their communities. There, facilities shuttered by a glut of steel and aluminum on the world market are expected to reopen and add hundreds of jobs.
