Cleveland-Cliffs is reiterating its interest in buying unionized mills that U.S. Steel is threatening to close should its takeover by Japan’s Nippon Steel get blocked by President Joe Biden.
While the White House has said it’s waiting to hear from the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States, or CFIUS, as to potential national security concerns presented by the deal before making a decision, Cleveland-Cliffs applauded reports that Mr. Biden is ready to derail the merger.
“Our industry is best served by American companies that are committed to the long-term prosperity of domestic manufacturing, supported by good paying union jobs, under American ownership, Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement Thursday. “Cleveland-Cliffs stands ready to immediately acquire and invest in any and all union-represented assets that U.S. Steel shuts down, protecting union jobs and investing in the future livelihoods and communities in which the facilities operate.”
The CEO’s statement helped revive U.S. Steel’s stock, which on Friday was up more than 5% and trading at $31.50 a share.
U.S. Steel stock had plunged after Vice President Kamala Harris added her voice to those who support keeping the iconic company domestically owned and operated at a Labor Day event in Pittsburgh on Monday. Shares caved further after reports that Mr. Biden is readying to formally block the proposed more than $14 billion acquisition, possibly in the coming days.
U.S. Steel moved to salvage the deal, saying it would have to close mills represented by the United Steelworkers (USW) union if the acquisition by Nippon Steel does not go through. The USW opposes the merger, but supported a rejected offer by Cleveland-Cliffs for U.S. Steel.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland-Cliffs is already acquiring Canadian steelmaker Stelco Holdings for $2.8 billion.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – A judge Friday set the bond at $5 million for a man accused of driving the SUV that struck and killed a 7-year-old boy as he rode his skateboard in a parking lot.
Cleveland Municipal Judge Ann Clare Oakar ordered the bond during Donald Mynatt’s first appearance. Federal marshals arrested Mynatt, 32, of Cleveland, in Willoughby on Tuesday.
Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer reached out to Mynatt’s attorney, Bret Jordan, for a comment.
Mynatt is accused of leaving the scene of an accident involving a death. Authorities said Mynatt was at the wheel of a black Mercedes Benz SUV when it struck Amir Prewitt in the parking lot of Lakeshore Beach Apartments in North Collinwood on Aug. 16 as the boy rode his skateboard.
Police said Mynatt dragged Amir underneath the vehicle and refused to stop.
Amir was transported to Euclid Hospital in a private vehicle, where he later died. The SUV later was found abandoned.
Cuyahoga County prosecutors are expected to take Mynatt’s case to a grand jury in a matter of days. The charges are expected to be upgraded to first-degree felonies.
The high bond that Oakar set is somewhat typical for those charged with serious felonies, according to court documents. Authorities had filed a request for a high bond in the case, as Mynatt had eluded authorities for weeks.
Amir would have been a second-grader at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Cleveland this fall, according to published reports.
