Biden promises union workers to keep US Steel ‘American-owned, American-operated’ [Video]

President Joe Biden on Wednesday continued his 2024 campaign swing through Pennsylvania, speaking to the United Steelworkers union as he proposed tripling tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum and denouncing the sale of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, promising union workers he will keep it a totally American company. U.S. Steel has been an iconic American company for more than a century, and it should remain a totally American company,” he said in Pittsburgh. The acquisition by Japans Nippon Steel took one more step last week when U.S. Steel shareholders approved the $14.9 billion sale, despite opposition from the United Steelworkers union.
