Lourenco Goncalves, the CEO of Ohio-based steelmaker Cleveland Cliffs, said Monday that he wanted to make a new bid for U.S. Steel.

President Biden blocked the deal between Nippon and U.S. Steel earlier this month due to "national security" concerns.

Separate lawsuits from Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel target President Joe Biden as well as a steelworkers union head and a rival steelmaker’s CEO.

US Steel and Nippon, whose $14.3 billion merger was blocked by President Joe Biden last week, filed a lawsuit against the US government Monday, claiming Biden’s executive order to bar the companies from combining was signed for “purely political reasons.

Nippon Steel Corp. and United States Steel Corp. jointly filed lawsuits in a last-ditch effort to preserve the planned merger of the companies, which was blocked last week by President Joe Biden.
