STEEL INDUSTRY,MERGER,NATIONAL SECURITY

President Joe Biden blocked a $15 billion deal that would have seen Japanese company Nippon Steel acquire U.S. Steel, citing national security concerns and the importance of a strong domestic steel industry. While Democrats praised Biden's decision, Gary, Indiana mayor Eddie Melton expressed disappointment, arguing that Nippon's technology would have led to cleaner steel production and a $300 million investment in the local steel plant.

A major deal in the steel industry hit a major roadblock Friday after President Joe Biden blocked Japanese-based company Nippon Steel from acquiring U.S. Steel for $15 billion, a controversial deal that had been in the works for months."A strong domestically owned and operated steel industry represents an essential national security priority and is critical for resilient supply chains," Biden said in a statement.

"We felt the technology that Nippon was bringing to this steel production process was going to help enhance and make it a cleaner process," Melton said."The criticism I received from supporting this deal was well worth it. I have to be the chief advocate for this community." He also said there was no clear evidence of national security threats, something Nippon leaders echoed in their statement Friday.“It is shocking — and deeply troubling — that the U.S. government would reject a procompetitive transaction that advances U.S. interests and treat an ally like Japan in this way," a statement from Nippon said in part.Feeling out of the loop?
