Overview
The Committee on Foreign Investment failed to agree on Nippon Steel's $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel, returning the decision to President Biden, who opposes the deal. While federal agencies have expressed skepticism over potential national security risks, union representatives and Trump argue it threatens domestic jobs.

Biden has 15 days to finalize his decision, amid pressures from labor unions and the business potential of the deal.
