Biden extends deadline for unwinding Nippon/USS deal to June

The Biden administration has pushed back until June the date for which Nippon Steel must unwind its $14.9-billion dollar deal for Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel, the company said on Saturday.

Nippon and U.S. Steel initially had only 30 days, or until early February, to unwind the deal. Thanks to an extension from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS), that deadline is now June 18.
