Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) vowed Monday to work to block the $14.9 billion sale of U.S. Steel Corp. to Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel, which he described as an “outrageous” move.
The deal was announced Monday, prompting the stock prices of U.S. Steel to jump up 25 percent. Fetterman criticized the sale, saying in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that the move was “wrong for workers and wrong for Pennsylvania.”
“I’m gonna do everything I can to block it,” Fetterman wrote on X.
“I live across the street from U.S. Steel’s Edgar Thompson plant in Braddock,” Fetterman said in a statement. “It’s absolutely outrageous that U.S. Steel has agreed to sell themselves to a foreign company. Steel is always about security — both our national security and the economic security of our steel communities. I am committed to doing anything I can do, using my platform and my position, to block this foreign sale.”

Trump would have never let this happen. You need to switch sides bro. Biden is a loser and traitor.

Trump let Saudi Arabia buy America’s largest oil refinery. Take a seat.
@9HPHK5WTranshumanist6mos6MO
I don't think they should be able to block it, a company buying a company is just business ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fetterman being reborn as a somewhat right wing populist was definitely not on my 2023 bingo card.
@KangarooGregRepublican6mos6MO
There's nothing right wing about this.
@AdoringC4pitalistDemocrat6mos6MO
prioritizing the sovereignty of one's own country and defending it from foreign interest is right wing

Keep jobs in America as best as you can, but the government should have as much of a."hands off approach" as possible.
