Lack of consensus at Cfius makes it more likely Joe Biden will block the deal
The US Treasury has told Nippon Steel that the panel vetting its proposed acquisition of US Steel has not reached consensus on how to mitigate security risks, raising the odds that President Joe Biden will block the $15bn deal.
Japanese officials point out that Washington wants Tokyo to work together to counter China but says Japan is a security risk. Several senior US officials told the FT that Biden’s opposition was political. Biden, Kamala Harris and Trump all used their opposition to try to win union votes in Pennsylvania, where US Steel is based, during the presidential election campaign.
