TOKYO -- Japan's Nippon Steel said on Wednesday that it is "inappropriate for politics to continue to outweigh true national security interests," in response to a media report that U.S. President Joe Biden is preparing to block its proposed purchase of U.S. Steel.
Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Biden plans to formally block the purchase on national security grounds once the deal is referred back to him, although it is unclear when such a decision would be announced.
