U.S. Steel shares stopped trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday after Japan’s Nippon Steel completed its acquisition of the iconic American industrial name. President Donald Trump has insisted for weeks that the companies would form a “partnership” in which U.S. Steel would remain American owned.

But the New York Stock Exchange notified the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday that U.S. Steel’s shares would be removed from listing, after the company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Steel North America. U.S. Steel shares stopped trading at 8:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday after Nippon completed its acquisition, according to a notice from the NYSE. The delisting will be effective on June 30, NYSE said.

Trump opposed Nippon’s bid to acquire U.S. Steel in the runup to the 2024 presidential, but he changed his mind after he took office. Trump ordered a new review of the deal in April after former President Joe Biden had blocked Nippon’s acquisition in January, citing national security concerns.

Trump announced a “partnership” between U.S. and Nippon in a May 23 post on his social media platform Truth Social, causing confusion among investors and union members about whether the structure of the original deal had changed somehow.

That didn't take long. ETA and the name "US Steel", which was promised to stay the same, is gone.

The deal was politically controversial from the moment Nippon and U.S. Steel signed a merger agreement in December 2023, as Democrats and Republicans have taken an increasingly protectionist toward U.S. industry in recent years.

The stock is up 100 percent off it's 52 week low.

Now up 500% since 2020.

Hopefully Japanese managers can turn this failing company around.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. an American steel company was bidding also. Biden blocked the buyout to Nippon as a risk to security. Mike Pompeo was Nippon's lobbyist.

(snip) On December 23, 2024 the CFIUS concluded its review of the proposed Nippon Steel buyout without reaching a consensus on national security risks. The proposed Nippon buyout would then be officially blocked by President Biden on January 3, 2025. On January 6, Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel sued the Biden administration over the block.
The companies also filed a RICO complaint against Cleveland-Cliffs, its CEO, and the head of the United Steelworkers, the primary union representing US Steel employees.[

(My wild speculation.)
If the orange one is involved, Pompeo is involved, there's a crime in here somewhere. Nippon paid $55/a share, Cleveland-Cliffs offered $35/a share. They fought hard for this, there has to be boat loads of money being made. And none of it will go towards workers, maintenance or safety. I bet the first thing they will do is go after and break the union and steal the pension fund with help from the orange convict. The orange one was given Golden Shares and the right to call the shots. His first shot will be at labor.
Then they'll start selling everything off.
