US President Joe Biden reportedly has &quot;serious concern&quot; about Nippon Steel&#039;s takeover of US Steel, and plans to issue a statement to that effect.
                
Japan&#039;s largest steelmaker announced in December that it had inked an agreement to acquire US Steel for about 14 billion dollars.
                
A report in British newspaper the Financial Times quotes sources as saying Biden will express serious concern about the deal. The president will communicate his feelings on the matter in a statement before the arrival of Prime Minister Kishida Fumio for a state visit on April 10.
                
The newspaper says the White House has privately informed the Japanese government of the president&#039;s plans.
                
US Steel has its headquarters in Pennsylvania, a key swing state. The United Steelworkers union is an outspoken opponent of the takeover. The organization is a major supporter of the Democratic Party.
                
Biden appears eager to lock in the union&#039;s support before the presidential election in autumn.
                
Japan&#039;s Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa has declined to comment. He said he won&#039;t be drawn on matters related to the management of individual companies.
                
Hayashi said, &quot;The Japan-US alliance has never been stronger. The two countries will continue to work together to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the Indo-Pacific region. We will also continue to cooperate on maintaining and strengthening a free and open economic order based on rules, and in the field of economic security.&quot;
