Nippon Steel US Steel acquisition plan “aims to be completed by September as planned”. Regarding former President Trump's remark that ``I would immediately block'' NipponSteel's plan to acquire major American steel manufacturer US Steel, Vice President Mori Takahiro said at a press conference.

"I doubt whether the acquisition is complete by September this year, as planned," he said. Last December, Nipp on Steel announced plans to acquire US Steel into a subsidiary between April and September.
