And that was a big reason during the campaign last year that both candidate Trump and President Biden opposed this proposed deal with Nippon Steel. Now, though, such concerns seem to be overridden by the prospect of more jobs. But listen to this. I heard this from a local resident. His name is Mike Medich. I'm glad it's Japan rather than China.

because China has a lot of investments in our country, which I don't think they should have. And I'll add here that Medich doesn't necessarily see this as a big engine for new jobs, but he says had this mill closed, that would have been a real blow to the community.

It's a pleasure.

Trump has come to a county that is home to a large number of factories and design facilities for the U.S. automobile industry. As such, there is a large contingent of union autoworkers here who support the president. Among them, you find strong backing for Trump's tariff policies. They believe Trump, when he says tariffs, will bring tens of thousands of jobs back to places like Michigan.

Still, even with the focus here on tariffs, it's common to hear people lined up outside the rally cite tough immigration policies and deportations as the thing Trump has done that they're happiest with so far. Don Garnier, NPR News, Macomb County, Michigan.

Where to start? You first. We expected a lot. of aggressive action from the Trump administration right from the jump, because that's what they told us they would do. And we really are in a place where the fire hose is turned on. And every day, as you said, it is multiple big things.

Now we get the legal battles. A judge ruled that the White House could not do what it did, that there are so many questions unresolved about who has the authority to cut these jobs, where the funding to pay workers comes, through September, as proposed for some would come from. So look for direction from the courts, but that may not stop the administration.

And now on top of this comes the judge's order regarding Treasury Department data, overnight data on individual citizens. We are going to see a lot of this, and we still don't know if or how the White House will view orders that they comply with the courts.
