Posted online

Japan’s Nippon Steel is now expected to close on the acquisition of U.S. Steel with involvement by the U.S. government, sources familiar with the matter told CNBC.

Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pennsylvania, said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box" that the U.S. government would get a so-called golden share that would give it approval over board members and production levels. U.S. Steel's headquarters are in McCormick's state.
