Nippon Steel has proposed granting the U.S. government veto power over any potential production cuts at U.S. Steel to secure approval for its acquisition.
This offer comes as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) has referred the decision to President Joe Biden.
Biden has until January 7 to act on this decision, given his departure from office on January 20.
If no action is taken by Biden, the merger would receive automatic approval.
Nippon Steel's proposal includes a commitment to maintain production capacity at U.S. Steel's mills for the next 10 years unless reviewed by a Treasury-led panel.
