This does not sound like free market capitism to me. Which means it sounds like what? National security give me a break.. if the USA was worried about national security we would still be able to build and pump out new Naval ships like we used to be able too. In 1990 we were close to 500 ships.. now we are at 115. That is a national defense issue.

This has all got to do with the names. If the company was called ABC Steel instead of Nippon Steel, it would have done the deal a long time ago.

US steel possesses advanced steel making technology???
The downfall of US steel is literally from technology stagnation and slow to adapt to new technology, US is one of the last countries to use new type of furnaceβ¦.

I don't get the unions' problem here. Soon as US Steel goes belly up, their "collective bargaining agreement" is gone. As are their jobs. The bankruptcy executor then holds a fire sale, parting off every last bit of the company's assets and selling it to the highest bidder to pay its debtors first, shareholders second. If the japanese want the IP they could just wait for that.
Instead they offered to save y'all's collective arses.

America: Our great allies in Asia such as Japan and SK would help us deal with China.
Also America: Japan poses national security threat π€£

USA has no industrial policy in place, tarrifs without an industrial policy are counter intuitive. Even the current Trump administration, under all their fluster, apart from poorly thought off tarrifs, has no coherent plan for industrialisation. What is worse, his administration is under considerable influence of tech bros, who instead of shifting towards a more rational economic policy, would continue to inflate tech/crypto bubble. The US stock market is extremely overvalued, according to every metric, and index under the sun.

The US military literally occupies Japan. How much of a secutity risk could Nippon Steel possibly be?

The video propagandizes the word subsidy. When you believe the market exists to serve the national interests the word subsidy needs to be redefined. The West believe the market exists to enrich private sector elites and the government role is to ensure that happens. When subsidies do not benefit this group we stigmatize them as illegal or unfair. China is a state capitalist country where the market exists to serve the national interests Subsidies are a way to transfer slices of the total social product to where it is needed. Totally different concept. To them that's only rational. Oddly enough the only time America was truly great was after WWII when it did – through the government – much the same thing.

If us steel sold to nippon steel, next, if Chrysler, ford, Chevrolet, and maybe USA government are in financial trouble, it can be sold to a foreign company too.

They say that, Toyota (Nippon-Steel) Subaru Daihatsu Honda Suzuki Yamaha Nissan Mitsubishi's executives are old (17-19c) covert Korean clans,
so they are essentially Korean company, which is China's proxy after all, therefore their goal is to take over Japan/America.

Nucor has used electric arc furnaces for decades. It lends itself to using recycled scrap steel, which has traditionally been Nucor' feedstock.

Japan does not want to buy US Steel.
Nippon Steel, a Japanese corporation, appears to want to.

But canβt US Steel go to equity market to raise capital if their project is so attractive. Plus stock market PE is high historically.

Good idea to sell military material to the people that attacked you with their military. American GREED never ceases to amaze.π π π π

So why can't US Steel mount a reverse takeover for Nippon Steel ?
Will that not solve the paranoia of the US losing their baby!!ππ

China already surpasses both the US and Japan. Even if they merge, they'll still be only the third largest producer.
