Good thing you opposed it. If it’s an order from the president, surely there’s no need to pay the penalty?

If Trump objects and the acquisition is not approved, Nippon Steel will have to pay a penalty.
Nippon Steel will just get its money.

I think it was a weird negotiation where they would take the money even if it didn’t work out.

It’s a crazy contract that requires you to pay a penalty even if the acquisition fails. Shareholders can sue over this.

So Americans want big government and every country is run by socialists or communists.

Oh, US Steel would have been dead no matter which side the Democrats or Republicans were on. What an incredible ability to revise history.

Biden-Harris is just a performance
Trump is seriously opposed
This was obvious from the presidential election.

Why would they enter into such a contract, with the expectation that they would have to pay a penalty if the acquisition was opposed and the deal was not successful?

If Nippon Steel were to rename itself American Steel, all that would be solved.

Nippon Steel is the company that provided all of its technology to China free of charge. As a result, Japanese steelmaking is in a difficult position… As a Japanese citizen, I cannot support them in any way.

Will Nippon Steel’s share price plummet?
If the acquisition plan is cancelled, they will have to pay a huge penalty.

Notice of termination
If the acquisition doesn’t go through for some reason, Nippon Steel has a contract to pay a penalty, so pay it.

This has to be cancelled now. They can do whatever they want about the penalty. The Trump administration’s main goal is to rebuild manufacturing and revive the middle class, so this is a problem right in the middle of that. They should pull the plug on it as soon as possible.

Once you learn about the history of Nippon Steel, it won’t matter anymore.

That’s enough. Just raise the tariffs. Let’s move away from America.

All they have to do is come up with a suitable reason to cancel the acquisition. It would kill two birds with one stone by doing Trump a favour and embarrassing Ishiba at the same time.

It’s pro wrestling, right?
It’s already been decided
If it can be cancelled, please do it
It would be a rip-off purchase in Japan.
