US President Barack Obama has thanked London-based Indian steel baron Lakshmi Mittal for investing in recession-hit America and creating jobs, as he visited a key ArcelorMittal unit that is the largest supplier of steel to the auto sector in this country.

"I want to thank your CEO, Lakshmi Mittal, for investing in America and the Cleveland area," Obama said during his visit to the ArcelorMittal Cleveland Steel Factory in Cleveland, Ohio yesterday.

This year alone, the company has invested USD 70 million resulting in creation of 150 new jobs, Mittal said.

"It's a great honour for all of us at ArcelorMittal Cleveland to welcome President Obama said today. We've been making steel in Cleveland for one hundred years," he said in his welcome address.
