Westmoreland Review

Senate President Pro Tempore Kim Ward issued a statement in response to comments made by former President Donald Trump regarding Nippon's investment in U.S. Steel. Ward, representing the 39th district, expressed confidence in Trump's commitment to American interests.

"President Trump has always fought for America, so I had no doubt he would fight for the steelworkers and their families in southwestern Pennsylvania by taking a second look at the deal," Ward stated. She noted that while details of the potential investment are still pending, she views it as a positive development for the region and its industrial heritage.

Ward criticized what she perceives as shortcomings of the current administration, saying, "President Trump is correcting a failure of the Biden Administration by building global alliances that benefit America while Gov. Josh Shapiro continues to remain on the sidelines."
