(The Center Square) - When used judiciously, some Democrats speculate that tariffs can be a good thing. In Pennsylvania, where steel has been a central component of the state’s economy, they’re arguing for different tactics. “I think it should be easy for us to criticize Donald Trump's tariffs and his trade approach right now, which is hurting a lot of people. A lot of businesses and workers in Pennsylvania,” said Congressman Chris Deluzio, who represents the 17th district northwest of Pittsburgh. He spoke at the Harrisburg stop of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s Fighting Oligarchy tour just hours after Cleveland Cliffs announced it would be at least temporarily closing a plant in neighboring Steelton. The move will impact 500 workers. The company will also be idling a Conshohocken plant, costing 115 jobs.
