U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel filed a separate lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., against the Biden administration to overturn the order and force a new review that could potentially lead to the deal. The Pittsburgh suit against Cliffs and McCall doesn't have any bearing on that decision.

Financial risks and uncertainties surround CLF's potential acquisition of US Steel, but share buyback program offers potential returns to investors.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. CEO Lourenco Goncalves says he has an "all-American solution" in place to buy United States Steel Corp. if a deal with Nippon Steel is abandoned.

Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves on Monday expressed the company's interest in acquiring U.S. Steel at a press conference in Pennsylvania. He also attacked Japan as "evil," claiming that it taught China how to dump, build overcapacity and overproduce.

There’s renewed uncertainty over U.S. Steel’s future after President Biden decided to block Nippon Steel’s acquisition bid, worth over $14 billion, citing national security.
