Biden gave a major union what they wanted — and it could blow up in their face: analyst

President Joe Biden made good on something the United Steelworkers union wanted him to do, and blocked a $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel by the Japanese-based Nippon Steel — but this is not good news for the union, wrote columnist Catherine Rampell for The Washington Post. Indeed, by giving the union what it wanted, Biden may have crippled the U.S. steel industry, and with it, thousands of union jobs he was so keep to protect.

"The Japanese are understandably insulted by Biden’s decision," wrote Rampell.
