President-elect Donald Trump’s comments Tuesday, touting a United Arab Emirates company’s planned $20 billion investment in U.S. data centers, could spark hope for the proposed takeover of U.S. Steel by Japan’s Nippon Steel.

Trump opposes U.S. Steel's sale to Nippon, but CEO David Burritt believes he can convince the president-elect that the deal is in the interest of U.S. workers.

United States Steel Corp. CEO David Burritt in an interview with CNBC appealed to President-elect Donald J. Trump to rescue the Pittsburgh-based company's $14.9 billion acquisition by Nippon Steel Corp.

CEO David Burritt appealed to President-elect Trump on Tuesday to reverse President Biden's "wrongful, shameful, corrupt" decision to block the company's sale to Nippon Steel (OTCPK:NPSCY) (OTCPK:NISTF).

The companies argued in a lawsuit announced on Monday that Biden violated the Constitution by blocking the merger via a sham national security review that deprived the companies of their right to a fair process.

One thing that should be simple is reversing President Joe Biden’s absurd policy on the proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel and allowing that marriage of companies to proceed.

The first lawsuit filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit claims the companies’ constitutional right to due process was violated.

Separate lawsuits from Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel target President Joe Biden as well as a steelworkers union head and a rival steelmaker’s CEO.
