Good. I fervently hope that Nippon and US Steel win. Biden’s decision was utterly idiotic: a great US ally wants to invest $15B in a failing US company and Biden blocks the deal on specious national security grounds. Biden has never been known for his intellect, to say the least. But, come on man!
I agree the excuse is flimsy. FWIW, Trump is also against this merger.
Agreed. Biden could have kicked it down the road a few weeks, and let Trump do it. Or see if Trump upheld his promise to the steel workers or backed the bankers and other finance folks who stand to make a bunch of money off this deal…
Trump’s promise to workers? Haven’t we seen this outcome before.
