Sen. Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, is currently pushing a bill that would require water infrastructure projects in the U.S. to use American-made steel and iron.

Asked about that bill during a visit to a factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in April, President Trump told a reporter that he agrees with it “100 percent.” But the measure is stalled in Congress.
