(Washington, D.C.) According to a release from Senator John Fetterman’s office, Fetterman greatly opposed U.S. Steel getting bought by Nippon Steel of Japan. President Joe Biden blocked the sale of almost $15 billion from happening on Friday. Fetterman, who lives down the street from the Braddock U.S. Steel Edgar Thomson plant, confirmed: “The original U.S. Steel-Nippon deal was a death sentence for the Mon Valley Works.” Fetterman also proclaimed that he wants to protect the
workers of the union and their “way of life” so it can prosper. Fetterman did not speak on this issue since December of 2023, when the news initially broke of Nippon Steel trying to buy U.S. Steel.
