Business


Nippon Steel's (5401.T) $14.9-billion acquisition of U.S. Steel (X.N) closed on Wednesday, the companies said, confirming an unusual degree of power for President Donald Trump after the Japanese company's 18-month struggle to close the purchase.

Under the deal terms, Nippon bought 100% of U.S. Steel shares at $55 per share, as it first laid out in its December 2023 offer for the well-known but struggling steelmaker.​
