Japanese companies needing to grow have sought out American deals. Experts say that will not change even after Bidenβs rejection of Nippon Steelβs takeover attempt.
The president said he was moving to protect national security in deciding the fate of the iconic Pennsylvania-based company, which became a contentious political issue in an election year.
Nippon Steelβs $14 billion takeover bid for the steelmaker appears doomed, with President Biden expected to reject it. Litigation and diplomatic turmoil could follow.
