Risks to national security

According to the outgoing president, this merger, which has been causing economic and political controversy in both countries for a year, “would put one of the American steel producers under foreign control and pose risks to our national security and vital supply chains”.

The United States is the world’s largest importer of Steel, a sector largely dominated by China.
