Steel-making is alive in the USA, but in the form of specialized metal product mills or mini-mills.  The days of the large integrated steel mill complexes like Weirton are over.  Also, since steel is the most recycled material in the world, the years have seen decreasing use of blast furnaces to get iron ore in preparation for making steel.  Now you see a lot of iron and scrap electric furnaces to remelt steel.
