Nippon Steel Vice Chairman Takahiro Mori met with U.S. Steel's employees and community leaders this week to gain better understanding of its proposed acquisition of the U.S. company and saw positive reaction, a company spokesperson said. Mori, the key negotiator for the U.S. Steel deal, returned to the United States this week, soon after a May 20-26 trip, in an effort to close the deal amid growing regulatory scrutiny and political opposition as well as objections from the powerful United Steelworkers (USW) union over fears of job losses.
