Vice President JD Vance rightfully slammed the Biden administration for offshoring production.

He said political leaders forgot the core of American identity by relying on foreign powers for essential goods.

Well, I don’t think forget is the right word. More like, they willfully attacked the core of American identity.

Vance said Nucor Steel Berkeley and its peers have struggled under four years of crushing environmental regulations.

He delivered the rebuke Thursday at the Nucor facility.

JD Vance says that the largest steel producer in America, Nucor Steel, stopped work in its West Virginia plant for years because of Biden’s Green New Deal regulations.

Daily Caller reports:

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday slammed former President Joe Biden’s administration during a speech at Nucor Steel Berkeley for deciding that products would be made overseas instead of in the United States.

Vance said that over the last few decades, political leaders forgot about the “core part of American national identity” by allowing the U.S. to rely on foreign powers for essential goods. The vice president said manufacturing facilities like Nucor immensely struggled over the last four years due to the Biden administration’s “crushing environmental regulations.”

“For a couple decades, though, our leaders forgot about that core part of American national identity. They decided that America would no longer be a manufacturing power,” Vance said. “Instead, we let the rest of the world make the necessary things that we needed for our homes and for our families. And when a nation decides to deindustrialize my friends, you know what else they stop using? The intermediate goods, the things that are essential to manufacturing, like steel that you all make right here in Nucor. So we stopped making the things that we needed.”

Nucor Steel’s leadership told Vance that the company’s facility in West Virginia that “sat idle” under the Biden administration due to its environmental rules. The vice president said that these types of regulations cost hard working Americans their good paying manufacturing jobs and wages.

“So when our leadership decides that Americans don’t want to make anything, you know what we do? We cost great businesses and corporations like Nuccor a lot of money, we cost great workers their wages and we cost a lot of people their jobs. And that was the policy of the last administration that came before us.”

JD Vance is at Nucor Steel today ringing in the new American manufacturing renaissance.

Trump is rebuilding what the globalists gave away — with American steel, American workers, and America First leadership.

Let the sparks fly.
