Story highlights "Donald Trump is the poster boy for so much of what is wrong in our economy," she said

Trump's campaign did not immediately respond for comment

Washington (CNN) Hillary Clinton slammed Donald Trump on Tuesday over a report that revealed the Republican presidential nominee purchased steel from China instead of from the US in two of his last three construction projects.

"For all his tough talk ... I've listened to Donald as he's bashed Chinese. You've heard him," she said at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. "Well, we found out yesterday that he has been buying cheap Chinese aluminum and steel. Not buying here in Pennsylvania, not supporting our workers, but supporting the Chinese. These stories keep coming out, don't they? And everyone makes the same point. They add up to clearly demonstrating that Donald Trump is the poster boy for so much of what is wrong in our economy."

A recent Newsweek report detailed that Trump's company purchased steel and aluminum from Chinese manufacturers, rather than from US manufacturers, which are largely based in the Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. CNN has not independently confirmed the Newsweek reporting.
