CBSN
U.S. Steel and Nippon Stel filed a lawsuit on Monday over President Biden's decision to stop the Japanese company's proposed nearly $15 billion takeover of the Pittsburgh-based company.
The companies allege that Mr. Biden's Jan. 3 decision to block the deal was made for political reasons that violated their due process, according to the suit filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
Mr. Biden moved to halt the acquisition after federal regulators deadlocked on whether to approve it, saying "a strong domestically owned and operated steel industry represents an essential national security priority."
