United States Steel (NYSE: X) saw a 10% price surge after news broke that Nippon Steel has proposed a new bid to acquire the company, offering the government veto power over production cuts. This offer comes after objections from the Treasury Department’s CFIUS due to national security concerns. President Joe Biden, who has expressed opposition to the deal, may not have the final say, potentially leaving the decision up to incoming President Donald Trump.
