Aaron Bartnick, a former Cfius official during the Biden administration, said that further deals resembling the one for US Steel would mark a “meaningful shift” in America’s approach to capital markets, after decades of criticising other nations for taking golden shares in national champions.

An unusual move by the Trump administration to give itself a golden share in U.S. Steel as part of a deal to approve Nippon Steel's takeover of the well-known U.S. company could drive away foreign investors in U.

President Trump on Friday cleared way for Nippon Steel purchase of U.S. Steel, including unusual control for the president.
