President Donald Trump recently approved a “planned partnership” between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel, appearing to greenlight a proposed merger first announced in December 2023. In a post on his social media site Truth Social, Trump heralded the deal that would keep U.S. Steel in America and its headquarters in Pittsburgh — which was baked into the original deal that Nippon struck with U.S. Steel in December 2023, when it offered $14.9 billion for the company. Specific details surrounding the "partnership" have not yet been announced. On Friday, Trump will visit the Mon Valley to tout the deal.
