flag Trump defends tariffs at Georgia steel plant amid Supreme Court review, despite record trade deficit and weak job growth.

flag President Donald Trump visited Coosa Steel Corp. in Rome, Georgia, on February 19, 2026, to defend his tariff policies, claiming they revitalized the steel industry and boosted domestic manufacturing. flag Speaking at the plant ahead of a Supreme Court decision on the legality of his broad tariffs, Trump credited the measures with increasing production and creating jobs, despite data showing a record $1.2 trillion trade deficit in 2025 and only 181,000 jobs added— the lowest in a non-recessionary year since 2003. flag He promoted his economic agenda, pushed for stricter voter ID laws, and falsely alleged widespread election fraud, while endorsing Republican candidates in key races.
