Leaders with Japan’s Nippon Steel are working to sweeten their proposed buyout of U.S. Steel in an effort to get the nearly 15-billion-dollar deal approved. Corporate officials are offering to guarantee no production cutbacks in Pennsylvania and several other states for at least ten years, according to reports released by the Washington Post. President Biden is getting involved with the sale on national security grounds. He is expected to make a decision by Tuesday of next week. Many local level union leaders and municipal officials in and around the Mon Valley want the agreement to move forward as well. The sale has been opposed by United Steelworkers President David McCall.
