Trump approves Nippon Steel's US$14.9 billion purchase of US Steel

US President Donald Trump approved Nippon Steel's US$14.9 billion bid for US Steel on Friday, capping a tumultuous 18-month effort by the companies that survived union opposition and two national security reviews. Trump signed an executive order saying the tie-up could move forward if the companies signed an agreement with the Treasury Department resolving national security concerns posed by the deal. The companies then announced they had signed the agreement, fulfilling the conditions of Trump's directive and effectively garnering approval for the merger. 'We look forward to putting our commitments into action to make American steelmaking and manufacturing great again,' the companies said in the statement, thanking Trump.

Nippon Steel will buy a 100 per cent stake in US Steel, a spokesperson for the Japanese company in Tokyo said on Saturday.
