President Donald Trump informed U.S. Steel workers on Friday evening that the iconic American steel company will remain an “American company,” days after he revealed that there was a “planned partnership” between Japan’s Nippon Steel Corporation and the U.S. Steel Corporation.

While speaking FBI Investigating Impersonation of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Trump highlighted how “for generations” U.S. Steel’s name “was synonymous with greatness,” and added that the name will “again by synonymous with greatness.”

“We’re here today to celebrate a blockbuster agreement that will ensure this storied American company STAYS an American company — you’re going to stay an American company, you know that right?” Trump said. “We’re going to have a great partner. And, I have to tell you, Japan has been a tremendous friend of mine during my years as president — and then we had a little hiatus, we had a rigged election.”

Trump continued:

It will keep its headquarters in the great city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where it belongs. For generations, the name, United States Steel was synonymous with greatness, and now it will again be synonymous with greatness. The best, and strongest steel on earth will forever be made in America and made in Pennsylvania.
