As meddling in the dealings of successful companies increases, the American economy will suffer the creeping statism that has hamstrung so many European economies.
The United States Steel Mon Valley Works Clairton Plant in Clairton, Pa., is shown on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024. President Joe Biden is opposing the planned sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel of Japan.
