Nippon makes assurances in U.S. Steel buy; will move US HQ to Pittsburgh

As uncertainty swirls around Nippon Steel Corp.’s (NSC) proposed buy of U.S. Steel, the Japanese steelmaker continues to make assurances that it has the best interests in mind for running the iconic Pittsburgh-based steelmaker.

In a letter addressed to Pennsylvanians this past weekend, NSC maintains the acquisition will benefit U.S. Steel, its employees, the American steel industry, and local communities. The letter, signed by Takahiro Mori, representative director and executive vice president of Nippon Steel, was published in several Pennsylvania newspapers.
