An unusual move by the Trump administration to give itself a golden share in U.S. Steel as part of a deal to approve Nippon Steel's takeover of the well-known U.S. company could drive away foreign investors in U.

U.S. Steel’s so-called “partnership” with Nippon appears to be nearing its end after about 18 months after it was announced.
