US president Joe Biden on Friday followed through on his pledge to block Nippon Steel’s $14.9bn bid for US Steel, citing concerns the deal could hurt national security.
“US Steel will remain a proud American company – one that’s American-owned, American-operated, by American union steelworkers – the best in the world,” Biden said in a statement.
