Japan Steel has postponed the deadline for the acquisition of U.S. Steel (X.US) Trade.
Japan Steel stated on Thursday that it has extended the final deadline for acquiring United States Steel for $14.9 billion, changing it from the previous third or fourth quarter of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has reportedly submitted a final assessment report to the White House, indicating that it cannot reach a consensus on the National Security risks involved in Japan Steel's acquisition of United States Steel. The report further suggests that allowing the acquisition or reducing domestic steel production involves National Security risks. It will now be up to President Biden to decide whether to approve this acquisition, and he has 15 days to make a decision.
The acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel remains undecided, and a conclusion is expected in March next year? Biden has become the key.
There are numerous obstacles.
