On June 13, United States Steel Corporation (NYSE:X) announced that President Trump approved a $14.9 billion historic partnership between X and Nippon Steel, culminating an 18-month-long effort by the two companies that dealt with two national security reviews and union opposition. The partnership is expected to unleash unprecedented steelmaking investments in the country, creating and protecting over 100,000 jobs.
