U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel Say Their ‘Partnership' Is Sealed
U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel announced on Friday that they had entered into an agreement with the U.S. government to seal the terms of a 'partnership' between the companies, more than a year after the Japanese steel maker first tried to buy its U.S. competitor. Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., under pressure from the United Steelworkers union, blocked the deal on the basis that it was a threat to national security. President Trump, who also initially opposed the deal, reversed himself and decided to look for a way to revive it. The companies referred to the deal as a partnership, echoing language that Mr. Trump used in describing the transaction he blessed three weeks ago. But U.S. Steel has not indicated to shareholders that it has altered the $14.9 billion sale to Nippon that they approved in April last year. 'We thank President Trump and his administration for their bold leadership and strong support for our historic partnership,' the companies said in a statement. 'This partnership will bring a massive investment that will support our communities and families for generations to come.' The companies said they had entered into agreement with the U.S. government to alleviate any security concerns posed by the deal, known as a national security agreement, which calls for roughly $11 billion in new investments by 2028. The deal will also give the U.S. government a 'golden share' in the company, a rarely used practice through which the government takes a stake in company. In the United States, the government has typically taken a stake only in companies that are ailing or in particular need of government attention, like General Motors during the 2008 financial crisis. This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

6 Lightweight Items For Fastpacking, Hiking And Backpacking
Having good gear while exploring in the outdoors can make or break an adventure. It's nearly summer, which means it's time to dust off the hiking boots, pull out the tent, locate your hiking poles, and determine what essential items you might need or want for upcoming outdoor trips. Whether you're planning on an easy day hike, a challenging multi-night backpacking adventure, or a fun hut to hut fastpacking journey, here are some smart items worth their weight to bring along on your next romp in nature. If you're going to be out on the trail, it's important to bring along a lightweight headlamp, even if you aren't planning on hiking in the dark. Just as essential as a First Aid kit, a headlamp is an important safety gear item. Unplanned night hiking without anything to light the way, or keep you safely on the trail, can be very dangerous. For an ultralight option, bring along the Knog Bilby 400 Headlamp. It's not only lightweight, it's also powerful and perfect for all backpacking adventures. There are only so many days you can sit in the dirt while at your campsite. Bringing along a lightweight chair, which folds in a tiny package and can easily be carried, is a luxury item to be sure, but one you'll be happy to have. The smallest and most compact chair in the Helinox lineup is the Chair Zero. Weighing in at only one pound, this small but mighty comfort item has an award-winning design and can support up to 265 pounds. Your back will thank you. Choosing lightweight gear items is important when backpacking for multiple days. When hiking and backpacking, it can be cumbersome to slather on sunscreen to every inch of exposed skin throughout the day, every day. A smarter solution is a sun hoodie that can be pulled up and over your ball cap, shielding your face, neck, shoulders, and arms from harmful rays. The Nuyarn Ultralight Merino is the high-performance material that can really go the distance. Ultralight, durable, and breathable, a long-sleeved shirt is super comfortable and can be worn multiple days in a row, especially with quick drying material. Choose from the Feathertop Ultralight Hooded Long Sleeve Tee from Le Bent, or the Tern Ultralight Merino Wool Hoodie from Outdoor Vitals. Binoculars add enjoyment to wildlife viewing, especially for kids and families. For wildlife viewing, it's nice to have a pair of binoculars or a monocular to spot birds, deer, and other woodland creatures. The Nocs Provisions Zero Tube is compact, lightweight, and hard-wearing, making it easy to bring along on outdoor adventures—it's slim enough to fit in your pack without being bulky or weighty. Waterproof, fog proof, and impact resistant, Nocs has designed a perfect solution for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts. We've all heard that cotton may be problematic for hiking and backpacking. It's important to wear a moisture wicking fabric that dries quickly and can keep your body temperature regulated. The ARTILECT Nuyarn Sprint Tee is not only lightweight, it's made from merino fabric, a fast drying, breathable, and durable material that feels soft to the skin. This is the go-to hiking shirt for summer, whether you're on a multi-day backpacking adventure or a gentle day hike. Adding color to your outdoor wardrobe can also brighten up your experience. From backpacks to hiking boots to the perfect sun shirt, each item has an essential role. For women, going to the bathroom in the woods can be a challenge. Who wants to be fully exposed every time they feel the urge to relieve themselves? Enter: Gnara. This company makes smart pants, leggings, and shorts with a built in zipper that opens wide enough to do your business when nature calls. The perfect adventure pants, from the perfect women owned and operated company, choose from the Go There Pants, Go There Shorts, or the Go Free 7/8 Leggings.
