President united steelworkers union: The acquisition of Nippon Steel in Japan may mean the long-term decline of American steel companies. The head of the largest trade union in North America said that there is no guarantee from Nippon Steel to ensure that American steel companies will not decline after the acquisition. A few days ago, Nippon Steel of Japan proposed a $15 billion acquisition of American steel companies, which was opposed by Biden and Trump. The acquisition will be subject to the national security review of the Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) later this month. United steelworkers union Chairman David McCall was interviewed on Monday. On that day, Nippon Steel announced the details of various commitments it had made to gain union support, including job security and investment in facilities. Mccall said that one of his biggest concerns is that Nippon Steel may export steel products to the United States through its international steel mills, which he feared would weaken the position of American steel companies. Mccall said: "When we discuss with Nippon Steel, nothing can guarantee that their commitment is feasible in the long run." Nippon Steel previously denied that it would import steel from its international steel mills after reaching an agreement, and repeatedly said that its goal is to become a "member" of the United States, and the American market is crucial to its future growth.In November, the national second-hand car market traded 1,785,600 vehicles, up 4.33% from the previous month.
