The Allegheny Conference on Community Development has announced they will be supporting the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel.
In a statement released Monday after CEO Stefani Pashman called on local politicians to not block the sale.
“We are hard pressed to understand how elected officials in Washington can abandon this region and threaten the Nippon/U.S. Steel deal,” said Pashman.
Both President Biden and President-Elect Trump have promised to block the deal from going through.
