The outgoing US President Joe Biden may have the final say on the Japanese Nippon Steel's intended purchase of US Steel. Biden gets the case since a panel that was to express itself has not been able to agree.
Biden has 15 days to make a decision. The shareholders have said yes – one motivation is that the two companies as one can better withstand competition from China.
Biden has, without saying a direct no, expressed opposition to the deal for both economic and security policy reasons.
