Citing massive job losses, Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign and since being elected president has pledged to make U.S. manufacturing great again by bringing back jobs that have moved out of the country. Manufacturing in Iowa may not need the help, industry and economic development officials say. Trump made restoring manufacturing jobs one of the staples of his campaign speeches, especially as he toured states such as Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
