(Reuters) -- Japan's Nippon Steel has proposed giving the U.S. government veto power over any potential cuts to U.S. Steel's production capacity, as part of its efforts to secure President Joe Biden's approval for acquiring the American steelmaker, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.

Last week, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) referred the decision to approve or block the deal to Biden.
