I think they need to do a Find/Replace on that lawsuit to reflect the new administration.

Still waiting to hear of a realistic and viable alternative to save US Steel.

Japanese think they can buy USA vital production companies with their debts and fake money....

Hope Trump will show them the door quickly!!!

The Japanese have no case against a union,just because they do not want scab leadership

Nippon Steel going to court?

I thought Japanese weren’t advocates of court action?

Lots of foreigner especially should avoid antagonize and American, American have legal powers at their disposal

It’s clear Nippon Steel is not popular with readers of this newspaper. My only concern is what happens if Trump allows the sale? Whom is he making happy, and whom feeling betrayed?

Arrogance.

America is able to decide who buys it's companies. If America doesn't want a foreign company buying it's properties then that's the final word. A country doesn't have the right to buy property in a foreign country unless that country says OK.

Both Nippon Steel and US Steel are suing the government for blocking the sale.

Nippon Steel is also seeking to convince President-elect Donald Trump, who took office on Monday, of the benefits of the acquisition to the U.S. economy. However, it is unclear if Trump will support the deal as he has publicly opposed the plan before winning the Nov 5 presidential election.

A good example of Japan's isolation from reality. Nippon Steel might have been able to bribe Biden. It's never, ever going to happen with Trump.

Nippon steel has no clue. Trump might just ban all steel products from Japan.
