Nippon Steel’s proposed $15 billion takeover of U.S. Steel has been referred to President Joe Biden for a final decision after a key decision-making body failed to reach a consensus.

The president has 15 days to decide whether to block or approve the deal, which he previously said he opposed. If he takes no action within this time, the merger will move forward.
