Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Demonstrating that blocking the deal appears political in nature, Trump opposed Nippon's purchase of US Steel, but recently welcomed a $100 billion investment from Japan's Softbank, including funds for investment in US artificial intelligence technology - arguably far more important for national security.
43% : The deal has been politically charged since it was announced in December of 2023, stirring bipartisan political opposition to foreign control of a once key component of US industrial might which has fallen on hard times.
24% : But Biden's opposition to the deal may not be the final say: Nippon and US Steel have vowed to fight to win approval of the deal in court even if the Biden or incoming Trump administration tries to block it.
