(Bloomberg) -- U.S. President Biden on the 10th reiterated his support for U.S. workers who oppose Nippon Steel's planned takeover of U.S. Steel. However, he did not repeat the idea he expressed last month that U.S. Steel should maintain U.S. capital.
At a joint press conference after meeting with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the White House, President Biden said, ``We remain steadfast in our commitment to American workers.'' "I'm a man of my word," he said.
President Biden answered questions from reporters about Nippon Steel's $14 billion (approximately 2.14 trillion yen) acquisition plan for US Steel.
At a joint press conference, Prime Minister Kishida said, ``I am aware that the matter is currently being discussed between the parties involved.I hope that it will be a good discussion for both Japan and the United States.Japan will continue to work with the U.S. government to ensure that the law is being discussed.'' I believe that the process will proceed appropriately based on this."

■The phantom “Otani player invitation proposal”… “We can make it in time even after the afternoon game” In fact, according to multiple Japanese and U.S. government officials, the participation of Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani was certainly being explored behind the scenes. Around January of this year, a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at the Dodgers' game schedule and said, ``There's a noon game in Minnesota, so if you take a private jet after the game, you'll be on time.''
Even in March, some people are saying things like, ``We're inviting husbands and wives to the dinner party, so it would be a big draw if Otani came with his wife.'' Another government official said, ``Even if Otani can't come, why not go to Minnesota and get an autographed ball for President Biden?''
However, since it was during the season, it appears that adjustments were difficult, and it did not come to fruition. Furthermore, there was a cautious opinion within the government, as one government official said, ``There is a big risk that it will be seen as politicking,'' even if they were called. Thus, the proposal to invite Otani became a phantom.
