A: Hey buddy! Have you heard the latest scoop?
B: Not yet, what's up?

A: Well, get this - Nippon Steel is gonna invest a whopping 14 billion dollars into US Steel if the Trump folks give them the green light!
B: Whoa, that's huge! I thought they only offered 2.7 billion last time, right?

A: That's right! But now, they're planning to invest up to 4 billion in a new mill. Crazy, huh?
B: Sounds like a big deal indeed! But haven't the authorities already said no to this merger before?

A: Yeah, the Biden team blocked it in January due to security concerns. But guess who stepped in and kept delaying it? You got it - Trump himself!
B: Oh, that guy! He's still causing trouble then, eh?

A: Yup! In fact, he ordered a new review by the Committee on Foreign Investment, which should be finished by this Wednesday. Then Trump will have around two weeks to decide the fate of this deal.
B: Well, if it's not a done deal yet, who knows what might happen next? Let's wait and see!

Reuters reported on Monday that Nippon Steel is planning to pump 14 billion dollars into US Steel, if the Trump administration green lights its bid for the company.



The Japanese steelmaker's pledge is a jump from its most recent offer of 2.7 billion dollars. The report said the latest plan includes investing up to 4 billion dollars in a new mill.



The Biden administration blocked the merger in January, citing national security concerns, and US President Donald Trump continued to put the brakes on it.



He ordered the Committee on Foreign Investment to do a new review. It will be finished by Wednesday, and then Trump will have about two weeks to decide on the fate of the deal.
