US EditionUS Government to Have Control in Nippon Steel-US Steel Deal, Trump and Sen. McCormick Say
- President Donald Trump announced a $14 billion planned partnership between Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel on Friday to create the world's third-largest steel producer.
- The partnership replaces Nippon Steel’s previous offer, valued at close to $15 billion, to purchase U.S. Steel—a deal that former President Joe Biden blocked due to concerns over national security.
- The deal includes a national security agreement with the U.S. government, an American CEO, a U.S.-majority board, and a golden share granting government approval of board members.
- Trump emphasized that the U.S. would maintain control over U.S. Steel as a condition of the agreement, while Senator David McCormick noted that Nippon Steel achieved its objective of gaining entry into the American steel market.
- The arrangement aims to protect about 10,000 Pennsylvania jobs, invest $2.4 billion in modernizing U.S. Steel facilities including a new electric arc furnace, and maintain domestic production levels.
