--Nippon Steel is making a last-ditch effort to win President Biden's approval for its $14.9 billion purchase of U.S. Steel, the Washington Post reports, citing people familiar with the matter.

--In the new proposal, Nippon Steel promises not to cut U.S. Steel's production capacity for ten years unless the U.S. government agrees, according to the report.

--The move comes after concerns that the deal could harm U.S. national security and jobs, with the steelworkers union strongly pushing back against the takeover, amid worries about layoffs and cuts.

--Biden has been reluctant to approve the deal, but could make a final decision by Jan. 7, 2025.
