Nippon Steel Vice Chairman Takahiro Mori met with U.S. Steel’s employees and community leaders this week to better understand and garner support for the proposed acquisition of the U.S. company.
The meetings received a positive reaction, according to a company spokesperson.
Mori, the key negotiator for the U.S. Steel deal, returned to the United States this week, following a trip from May 20-26, to advance the deal amid increasing regulatory scrutiny, political opposition, and objections from the United Steelworkers (USW) union over potential job losses.
During his visit, Mori held talks with employees at U.S. Steel’s plants in Gary, Indiana, and Mon Valley, Pennsylvania.
He outlined Nippon Steel’s plans, including commitments to maintaining jobs and investing in blast furnaces. The company’s spokesperson conveyed that these discussions were met with positive and supportive reactions.
“We are pleased to see the positive and supportive reaction to Mori’s visits, and we remain focused on directly communicating our vision to the people who stand to benefit the most from this transaction,” the company stated.
Nippon Steel is striving to build public support for the deal, with Mori expressing hopes that this might encourage the union to engage in discussions.
Last month, the two steelmakers announced they had received all regulatory approvals outside of the United States for their proposed $14.9 billion merger. This progress marks a significant step towards completing the controversial deal.
