Biden could block U.S. Steel merger

President Biden is poised to block Nippon Steel’s planned $14.1 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, sources tell The Washington Post.

The deal, which would have created the world’s third largest steelmaker, had been under review by the Treasury Department’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

If the deal doesn’t go through, U.S. Steel will be forced to close some of its mills, CEO David Burritt told The Wall Street Journal.

U.S. Steel employs about 4,000 people at its Gary Works steel mill in northwestern Indiana.

This will allow it to keep all 544 current locations open and preserve 30,000 jobs.

Fortress will make some changes at Red Lobster, which could include new menu items, different pricing, and updated restaurant décor.
