Biden Blocks Nippon Steel's Acquisition of U.S. Steel, Citing National Security

Biden halted the Nippon Steel takeover of U.S. Steel, citing a strong domestic steel industry as crucial for national security. The companies involved filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, arguing the decision was politically motivated and violated their due process rights. They maintained the merger would bolster U.S. steel production, supply chains, and competitiveness against China, while investing in aging U.S. Steel facilities.

Nippon Steel also promised to maintain U.S. production capacity for a decade. Biden's intervention marks the first time a U.S. president has blocked a merger between a U.S. and Japanese firm, despite administration officials stating the decision was unrelated to bilateral relations.
