If that is true, the government could forcefully take the steel that you own away from you. And even force you to work at a steel mill. Are you willing to give up your steel And are you willing to go to work in steel mill? Or are you a typical American, expecting others to do the job for you?

where to you think all that ore comes from to make US steel?? every hear of the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald?? how about Sudbury nicke to make that steel hard? how about ........

Not crazy about all the 'mixing' of resource owners, deals like this seem to be more about 'you let our billionaires do business in your nation and we'll let your billionaires do business here'. Yet another part of the 'one world order' that many are starting to learn about.

This sounds like a circular argument. The steel being made in the same mills is fine. Where do the profits go?

Why do you think they would want to buy it? Do they pay US taxes, they own a different steel company in the US already?

Worked for USS at Braddock Plant (ET) for 47 years 1974-2021.Shitty jobs at first. Got better in the rolling mill as senority acquried. Shut down rolling mill in July. of 1992. Opened continuous caster Aug. 1 1992. For 20 years things were mostly steady cept for 2008. I got out with a pension I hope my younger compadres do the same.

you can't be partially pregnant, you either are, or are not. If you let an entity outside the US buy the steel mill, it's theirs to do as they please after that. They can take the production equipment to Japan and leave an empty building here if they want. We can't make steel here then, and that means we can't make equipment to defend the country. We become beggars to get steel, and that won't work. Japan could attack us again. Then what? To allow this corporate acquisition to go forward anywhere in any form, the barn door is about to close long after the horse escaped.

This is a national defense issue, our government should declare steel producers as a protected national defense industry, and deny the foreign acquisition of US Steel. Not long ago, when China attempted to acquire US oil companies, Federal regulators stepped in and denied approval of the acquisition. This should be handled the same way.

As a lifelong master machinist, watching what happened to steel ind over course of my lifetime,the worry goes to china. Weve been paying back loans with mineral rights thinking we were giving them useless property being as its NOT FARMLAND, this tactic backfires and we will be sending ore to china to turn around and buy it back! This WILL push manufacturing out of america buy driving steel thru roof, its pretty much common sense if you know manufacturing

Time of conflict when we need steel. Who else we have make steel for the war machine?

Congratulations Japanese for buying US STEEL 👏 🎉👍

The irony is ridiculous, once tariffs are in place, now the company is a target for foreign investment buyouts. So I thought the tariffs were a bad idea for business, hint: they aren't. So yes lets sell our US owned corps to multinational corps so that they can do what they please closing sites down and possibly reducing output. Its a security risk plain and simple, it is also not a good look.

Check out the house select committee on the CCP, they have done detailed studies on where our jobs have actually gone, the evidence is irrefutable.

Guess how much that is. 2%. A moot point.
