This announcement aligns with the White House&#8217;s previous stance against U.S. Steel&#8217;s intended sale to Japan&#8217;s Nippon Steel. Harris will make her remarks alongside President Joe Biden as they both, along with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, kick off a Midwest tour on Labor Day to emphasize their dedication to workers&#8217; rights. A campaign official indicated that Harris would assert the importance of keeping U.S. Steel domestically owned and express her unwavering support for American steelworkers.<\/p>\n<p>Last December, Nippon announced plans to acquire U.S. Steel, aiming for the merger&#8217;s completion in the latter half of 2024, pending standard closing conditions and necessary regulatory approvals from the U.S. government. Her forthcoming comments reflect those made by Biden before he withdrew from the presidential race; during an April visit to Pittsburgh, he voiced his opposition to the merger, stating that &#8220;U.S. Steel has been an iconic American company for more than a century&#8221; and should remain entirely American-owned and operated by union steelworkers.<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh has deep roots in the steel industry dating back to the Gilded Age and was once its epicenter in America, housing major mills like U.S. Steel and Ampco Pittsburgh.
