The steel industry is vital to the Pennsylvania economy. Trump has pledged upon taking office the United States' support in Isreael war against Hamas in Gaza. 

Trump and Fetterman also discussed the the president-elect's idea of the U.S. a strategic acquisition of Greenland, according to the Examiner.

Fetterman is the first Senate Democrat to meet with Trump following his 2024 presidential victory.

“President Trump invited me to meet, and I accepted," Fetterman said prior to the meeting. "I’m the senator for all Pennsylvanians – not just Democrats in Pennsylvania."

Said Trump: "He’s a commonsense person. He’s not liberal or conservative."
