In American English the TR cluster is pronounced as CHR like word (Tree). My question is about word (Industry), there's an "S" before the TR, so it is an ST cluster, so the question is, do we still pronounce it as CHR or True T because of the "S"?

I pronounce in dus tree not in duh stree. STR (as in street or strewn) can be a cluster, but I would not put it like that in the words industry or industrial. there is a break between the s and the tr.
