Nippon Steel: Why did Biden block a $15B Japanese takeover of US steel? | DW News

Incumbent President Joe Biden has blocked a $15 billion takeover of US Steel by Japan’s Nippon Steel.

Biden said it was necessary to protect American industry and prevent a key national asset from coming under foreign control. Both Biden and President-elect Donald Trump also opposed the takeover to protect jobs. Nippon Steel is to challenge the decision. The White House says it’s not a slight against Japan, and is aimed at keeping steel production in the US.
