Trump announces new $15 billion steel plant in Minnesota.
Why now
Thesis: Announced capacity, years from production
Catalyst to watch: Permits, financing, and construction start
Main risk: Announcement may not materialize as stated
Why it matters
A large announced steel plant implies future domestic steel capacity and construction demand, though claims are unverified.
Details
