Opening briefs filed in Nippon/USS lawsuit vs. US government

Together, Nippon Steel, Nippon Steel North America, and U.S. Steel announced the filing of their opening brief in their litigation to invalidate the government’s decision to block their announced merger.

The brief lays out “how President Biden made a predetermined decision for political reasons, not national security, causing CFIUS to engage in a sham review of the Transaction so that he could block it,” the companies said on Monday morning.
