Japan's Nippon Steel has proposed giving the U.S. government veto power over any potential cuts to U.S. Steel's production capacity, as part of its efforts to secure President Joe Biden's approval for acquiring the American steelmaker,

Japan's Nippon Steel is aiming to gain U.S. approval for its bid to acquire U.S. Steel by proposing veto power for the U.S. government over production capacity cuts. President Biden must approve the deal by January 7 or it will be automatically permitted.

In a last-ditch effort to gain approval for its acquisition of U.S. Steel, Nippon Steel is offering a 10-year guarantee that it would not reduce production capacity at U.S. Steel’s mills in six states,

President Biden has just over a week to decide how he wants to move forward on Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel. CBS News White House reporter Willie James Inman has more on that and some of the other big news coming out of the Biden administration.
