Nippon Steel to invest $14 billion in U.S. Steel including $4 billion for new mill: Reuters

  • Nippon Steel intends to allocate $14 billion toward U.S. Steel, with up to $4 billion designated for constructing a new steel mill, pending approval from the U.S. Government by May 21, 2025.
  • The investment follows prior merger attempts blocked on national security grounds by the Biden administration and faces a fresh review under the Trump administration.
  • Nippon Steel raised its investment commitment from $1.4 billion to $14 billion, including $1 billion allocated for a new greenfield facility expected to expand by an additional $3 billion, while ensuring that U.S. Steel's main offices remain located in Pennsylvania.
  • The deal carries a $565 million breakup fee, and Nippon Steel must avoid 25% tariffs if the transaction fails, while Trump has 15 days post-review to decide on approval.
  • Approval could grant Nippon Steel access to U.S. Steel markets benefiting from infrastructure laws, but it remains unclear if the investment will convince officials amid bipartisan political opposition.
