Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has appeared to agree with 45^th President Donald Trump that U.S. Steel should remain American owned and operated.

While speaking to a crowd in Pittsburgh on Monday, Harris echoed that Joe Biden and Trump are pushing against Nippon Steel’s acquisition of U.S. Steel.

The United Steelworkers Union has voiced opposition to the deal since it was announced in December.

Nippon Steel argues the purchase of U.S. Steel would benefit American workers and shore up supply lines against pressure from China.

She has pledged to move its U.S. headquarters to Pittsburgh, where U.S. Steel is based.

“U.S. Steel is an historic American company, and it is vital for our nation to maintain strong American steel companies,” Harris said.

“I couldn’t agree more with President Biden — U.S. Steel should remain American-owned, and American-operated. And I will always have the backs of America’s steelworkers,” she continued.

Presidents have the authority to block certain cross-border transactions on the grounds of national security.

However, it is unclear whether the next person to take over the Oval Office will deem America’s close ally, Japan, a threat.
