「法令に基づき公正審査を」　日鉄のＵＳスチール買収―経団連

　経団連は６日、日本製鉄による米鉄鋼大手ＵＳスチール買収をバイデン米大統領が阻止する意向と報道されていることについて「日本企業とりわけ米国への投資を考える企業にとって極めて関心が高く、法令に基づき適正に手続きが進められ公正に審査されることを期待する」との談話を発表した。（2024/09/06-15:38）

The Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, released a statement Friday urging a fair review of Nippon Steel Corp.'s bid to acquire United States Steel Corp.
   The planned buyout "has garnered significant interest among Japanese companies, especially those considering investing in the United States," Japan's biggest business lobby said. "We sincerely hope that the review procedure will be conducted with the utmost integrity and fairness in accordance with the law."
   Keidanren expressed its view after news reports that U.S. President Joe Biden plans to block the acquisition, which is being screened by the U.S. government's committee on foreign investment.
   In a statement released Thursday, the Japan-U.S. Business Council expressed concern over "attempts to politicize (the committee's) review process," and called for the screening to be "conducted objectively based on fair rules and processes."
