Nippon Steel Shares Rise After Trump Approves US$14.9B Steel Bid

  • President Donald Trump approved a US$14.9 billion merger between Pittsburgh-based US Steel and Nippon Steel after a long regulatory review in 2025.
  • The deal had faced opposition from the Biden administration in early 2023 due to national security concerns but was cleared following government negotiations and terms.
  • The partnership includes a National Security Agreement requiring about US$11 billion in investments by 2028 and a perpetual Golden Share to protect American interests.
  • US Steel shareholders will receive US$55 per share, representing a 142% premium over the stock price prior to the company's announcement of its intent to explore a sale in 2023.
  • The merger will create the world’s second-largest steelmaker, preserve US Steel's Pittsburgh headquarters, protect over 100,000 American jobs, and boost steel competitiveness internationally.
