A US senator has called on President Biden to conduct a thorough review of the alleged ties between Nippon Steel and China. The senator raised concerns about the potential implications of Nippon Steel's connections to China on national security and economic interests.

The senator emphasized the importance of ensuring that American companies are not inadvertently supporting activities that could undermine US interests. The call for a review comes amid growing scrutiny of foreign investments and partnerships that may pose risks to US security.

Nippon Steel, a major steel producer based in Japan, has faced allegations of collaborating with Chinese companies involved in activities that could compromise US national security. The senator's request for a review reflects broader concerns about the need to safeguard critical industries from foreign influence.
