Fox News: Trump tariffs spark 'exciting time' for Ohio steel plant as CEO eyes adding jobs, boosting productivity
President Trump’s tariffs are expected to significantly boost the JSW Steel USA facility in Ohio, increasing utilization from 68% to 84% over the next year and potentially adding at least 100 jobs. CEO Robert Simon emphasized the unfair competition faced by U.S. steel manufacturers from foreign producers who do not adhere to the same environmental and labor standards.
Trump's reciprocal tariff plan aims to create a level playing field by imposing tariffs equivalent to those charged by other countries. This strategy is anticipated to encourage foreign companies to establish operations in the U.S., further driving job creation and economic growth.

The Western Journal: Reports Claim We're in a 'Sputnik' Moment with China' - Here's the Truth
China's DeepSeek has emerged as a potential competitor in the AI space, claiming to have developed an AI model using significantly fewer resources than its U.S. counterparts. This has led to comparisons with the "Sputnik moment" of the Cold War, prompting discussions about America's technological leadership.
However, skepticism surrounds DeepSeek's claims regarding its funding and independence from the Chinese Communist Party, with experts questioning the validity of its reported low-cost development. While DeepSeek's efficiency is noted, it is argued that it does not surpass the capabilities of established U.S. AI models.
