U.S. President Joe Biden is preparing to block Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel, a source said on Wednesday.
The move by Biden would deal a blow to the proposed $14.9 billion deal.
The president has previously expressed concern over Nippon's deal to buy the 122-year-old iconic U.S. steelmaker.
U.S. Steel warned earlier on Wednesday that a failure to merge with Nippon Steel would put thousands of U.S. union jobs at risk.
Selected projects will strengthen domestic rare earth supply chains, reduce reliance on foreign sources, and improve U.S. energy security.
