"For more than a century, steel shaped our communities, powered our economy and stood as a symbol of American strength. The U.S. Steel-Nippon Steel partnership marks a bold new chapter in this story and a transformative opportunity for the Western Pennsylvania region. It offers a clear path to revitalization, innovation and prosperity and a means of preserving steelmaking's place as a cornerstone of our economy, our region and our way of life. Beyond retaining and growing jobs here in Western Pennsylvania and across the Commonwealth, the U.S. Steel-Nippon Steel deal is poised to enhance U.S. competitiveness in the global steel market by merging world-class steelmaking with a region known for pioneering innovation — unlocking new potential in clean manufacturing, high-tech production and sustainable industry.

I applaud the current administration, leaders in the Commonwealth – especially Senator Dave McCormick for their leadership in securing this opportunity. This is a win for Pittsburgh and all of Pennsylvania, and we look forward to expanding our partnership with U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel to maximize the promise of this investment."
