Biden Faces Decision on Nippon Steel’s Bid for US Steel Amid National Security Concerns

President’s Ruling Could Determine Future of US Steel Amid Union and Market Pressures

A key US national security panel has reached an impasse in its review of the proposed sale of United States Steel Corp. (X) to Japan’s Nippon Steel Corp., escalating the matter to President Joe Biden for a final decision. The deadlock by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) marks a pivotal moment in the contentious deal, with Biden expected to deliver a verdict within 15 days.

CFIUS informed stakeholders on Monday, its decision deadline, that it could not reach a consensus, leaving Biden to weigh in. The president has consistently voiced opposition to foreign ownership of US Steel, emphasizing the importance of maintaining domestic control over the iconic company. While the White House has not explicitly stated Biden’s intentions, his longstanding stance suggests he may move to block the acquisition.

White House spokeswoman Saloni Sharma confirmed receipt of the CFIUS report but declined to provide additional details, stating, “The president will review it.”

Nippon Steel has urged the administration to approve the transaction, emphasizing the measures it has taken to address national security concerns and its commitment to growing US Steel, safeguarding American jobs, and bolstering the steel industry. “We urge [the president] to reflect on the great lengths we have gone to address any concerns,” the company said.

US Steel echoed Nippon Steel’s sentiments, arguing that the merger would create a global competitor strong enough to counter China’s dominance in the steel industry. However, the powerful United Steelworkers union has expressed opposition, citing insufficient guarantees regarding the future of unionized facilities.

The deal, announced in December 2023, has also drawn mixed reactions from local officials and lawmakers, some of whom support the acquisition. Despite this, Biden’s decision will likely reflect the broader national security implications of foreign ownership.

If blocked, the fallout could exacerbate US Steel’s current challenges, including depressed steel prices and weak European demand. The company recently lowered its fourth-quarter earnings guidance, adding to the uncertainty.

The resolution of this high-stakes dispute will not only shape the future of US Steel but also signal how the administration balances economic competitiveness with national security concerns. Shares of US Steel slipped 0.5% in pre-market trading, reflecting investor anxiety over the impending decision.
