Nippon Steel’s pursuit of U.S. Steel may succeed thanks to a U.S. veto-wielding golden share, but the high costs, political concessions and strategic risks suggest the deal could end up being a costly misstep. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/05/30/japan/nippon-us-steel-deal/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #nipponsteel #ussteel #donaldtrump #usjapanrelations
Stop the steel! Japan’s giving too much away in this deal.

Nippon Steel risks handcuffing itself giving Trump a golden share.
