ArcelorMittal is discussing a possible offer with its investment bankers, and there is no certainty that it will press ahead with it, the sources said. Representatives for ArcelorMittal and U.S. Steel did not immediately respond to requests for comment. ArcelorMittal's deliberations come after U.S. Steel said on Sunday it had launched a process to explore interest from potential acquirers. The United Steelworkers union supports Cleveland-Cliffs' bid, however U.S. Steel has rebuffed it as "unreasonable".

MEXICO CITY, March 15 (Reuters) - Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Wednesday proposed putting an end to medicinal use of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid blamed for rising U.S. drug overdose deaths which has fed tensions between his country and the U.S. Lopez Obrador has vigorously rejected such suggestions, and argues his government is reducing the threat posed by the drug, saying it has seized more illegal fentanyl than "ever before." During a regular news conference, he said he would ask medical experts to analyze the possibility of "substituting fentanyl for medical uses with other painkillers." Earlier this week, Mexico said it was not a production hub for fentanyl, saying the drug and its ingredients largely come from Asia.
