President Biden faces a crucial decision regarding the proposed acquisition of United States Steel Corporation (US Steel) by Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) failed to reach a consensus, leaving Biden with 15 days to act. US Steel argues that the deal, valued at approximately $14.9 billion, would bolster national security through significant investments and innovation. However, Biden has expressed concerns about foreign ownership of a key American company and is expected to block the acquisition before his term ends, aligning with the sentiments of President-elect Trump.
