Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yoji Muto has expressed disappointment over U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to block a proposed takeover of U.S. Steel by Nippon Steel.
“It is difficult to understand and regrettable that such a decision has been made,” Muto said. “The Japanese industry has voiced strong concerns about future investment between Japan and the United States, and we must take this matter very seriously.”
