Could Pittsburgh Lose US Steel?
Manage episode 459729556 series 3300818
President Joe Biden made good on his promise and blocked the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, and now both companies are suing the federal government, a Cleveland-based steel rival, and the head of the United Steelworkers union. So what happens now? Can U.S. Steel leave Pittsburgh? Is Nippon, based in Japan, really a threat to our national security? And what does all this say about Pittsburgh’s place in our global economy? Host Megan Harris and executive producer Mallory Falk try to find answers in one of the most impactful and murky stories affecting our city today.
