    Nippon Steel pledges to move US HQ to US Steel's Pittsburgh

    Nippon Steel would move its U.S. headquarters to Pittsburgh where its acquisition target U.S. Steel is based if the deal goes through, an executive said, adding to the pledges from the Japanese steelmaker to secure the transaction. Nippon Steel's proposed $15-billion takeover of U.S. Steel has drawn sharp criticism in the United States where President Joe Biden said last week the asset should remain domestically owned while his opponent in November presidential vote, Donald Trump, promised to block the deal if he is re-elected. The Japanese company, the world's fourth biggest steelmaker, has been in talks with the United Steelworkers (USW), a labour union key for Biden and Trump in the upcoming November elections and which so far was opposing the deal.
