President Biden has blocked Nippon Steel's proposed purchase of U.S. Steel, citing national security concerns. The companies are challenging the decision in court.

Nippon Steel, a Japanese company, was seeking to acquire U.S. Steel, an American steelmaker, but the deal has been blocked by President Biden due to national security concerns. The companies filed lawsuits challenging Biden's order and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. review process, citing violations of due process and unlawful political influence. They also sued Cleveland-Cliffs, its CEO, and the USW union president for allegedly trying to prevent the merger.

The proposed acquisition faced political and union resistance, with Biden and President-elect Donald Trump expressing opposition. The White House urged a review of the agreement due to U.S. Steel's crucial role in producing a material vital to national security. The CFIUS, which was reviewing the deal, failed to reach a consensus, paving the way for Biden's intervention. U.S. Steel had warned that a deal failure would jeopardize thousands of U.S. union jobs and potentially lead to plant closures and relocation of its headquarters
