Trending...

NEW YORK - Nyenta -- President Joe Biden has officially blocked the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Japan's Nippon Steel Corporation, citing national security concerns under the authority of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). This decision underscores a broader trend of increasing vigilance on transactions involving foreign entities in sectors deemed vital to national security, including steel production, critical infrastructure, technology, and defense.

The blocked deal comes amidst a wave of geopolitical tensions and growing emphasis on protecting domestic supply chains from foreign influence. The Administration emphasized that the takeover could compromise domestic steel supply, a sector integral to defense and infrastructure projects, potentially making the U.S. vulnerable to external pressures.
