Nippon Steel Remains Confident In $14B US Steel Deal Despite Trump's Resistance: 'There Can Be Constructive Discussions'
Vice Chairman Amid political challenges, Nippon Steel Corp.(OTC:NISTF) remains optimistic about finalizing its $14.1 billion acquisition of United States Steel Corp. (NYSE:X) by the end of the year. The Japanese company is navigating opposition from unions and the Biden administration, while also facing potential hurdles from the recent election of Donald Trump, who plans to block the deal.
在面臨來自工會和拜登政府的反對，以及近期特朗普概念的阻力的挑戰中，日本鋼鐵公司（OTC:NISTF）仍然對於在年底前完成其價值141億美元收購美國鋼鐵公司（NYSE:X）持樂觀態度。這家日本公司正在努力應對來自多方的阻力，同時也可能面臨特朗普概念最近當選導致的潛在障礙。
What Happened: Nippon Steel is determined to proceed with its acquisition of U.S. Steel, despite facing resistance from several fronts. The company argues that the deal will benefit the U.S. economy by creating jobs and enhancing competitiveness against China's steel industry, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.
報道稱，儘管面臨來自多方的阻力，日本鋼鐵公司堅決推進對美國鋼鐵公司的收購。該公司認爲，該交易將通過創造就業機會和增強對抗中國鋼鐵行業的競爭力來惠及美國經濟。
However, Trump's election victory has introduced new complications, as he intends to block the acquisition in line with his anticipated isolationist policies. The United Steelworkers union also opposes the deal, citing concerns over job security for its members.
然而，特朗普當選導致並引入了新的複雜性，因爲他打算根據其預期的孤立政策阻止這一收購。美國鋼鐵工人聯盟也反對這筆交易，引用對其成員的工作安全的擔憂。
Vice Chairman Takahiro Mori of Nippon Steel expressed optimism. "Now that the election is over, we believe that there can be constructive discussions about this deal," he said.
日本鋼鐵公司副董事長森隆宏表達了樂觀情緒。他表示：「現在選舉已經結束，我們相信可以就這筆交易進行建設性討論。」
The company has received approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to refile its bid, extending its timeline to finalize the acquisition. Nippon Steel has also committed to a $1.3 billion investment in U.S. Steel operations and plans to sell its stake in an Alabama mill to address antitrust concerns.
公司已經獲得美國外國投資委員會的批准，以重新提出其買盤，並將交易時間表延長以完成收購。日本鋼鐵公司還承諾在美國鋼鐵公司的運營中投資13億美元，並計劃出售其在阿拉巴馬州一家廠的股份以解決反壟斷問題。
Why It Matters: The acquisition of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel has been a topic of significant interest, especially following U.S. Steel's better-than-expected third-quarter results, which bolstered confidence in the deal's completion by year-end. However, political opposition has been a major hurdle.
重要性：日本鋼鐵公司對美國鋼鐵公司的收購一直是一個備受關注的話題，尤其是在美國鋼鐵公司超出市場預期的第三季度業績之後，這增強了人們對年底完成交易的信心。然而，政治上的反對一直是一個重大障礙。
In October, Trump, Kamala Harris, and Biden voiced against the acquisition, leading Nippon Steel to increase its lobbying efforts in Washington, spending $1.3 million between July and September. This acquisition is crucial for Nippon Steel's strategy to expand its global footprint and compete with Chinese steelmakers, making the outcome of this deal significant for the international steel industry.
在十月份，特朗普、賀錦麗和拜登都發表了反對這項交易的言論，導致日本鋼鐵公司在華盛頓增加了其遊說工作，並在七月至九月間花費了130萬美元。這一收購對於日本鋼鐵公司擴大全球足跡並與中國鋼鐵製造商競爭的戰略至關重要，這使這筆交易的結果對國際鋼鐵行業具有重要意義。
