WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is coming out in opposition to the planned sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel of Japan, saying in a statement to be released Thursday that the U.S. needs to "maintain strong American steel companies powered by American steel workers.”In a statement obtained in advance by The Associated Press, Biden adds: “U.S. Steel has been an iconic American steel company for more than a century, and it is vital for it to remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated." Thursday's announcement, coming as Biden is campaigning in the Midwest, could have ripples in his race against the GOP presumptive nominee, Donald Trump. Nippon Steel announced in December that it planned to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains and U.S. national security. More than half the steel produced globally comes from China, according to the World Steel Association.

The major indexes busted out of a slump on Thursday and CNBC's Jim Cramer pinpointed several unexpected market tailwinds, telling investors to look for this kind of action instead of obsessing over news from the Federal Reserve. "I'd rather look for these unexpected tailwinds that affect individual companies. According to Cramer, the return of Japan as a notable player in mergers and acquisitions is another tailwind. Cramer said activist investor Nelson Peltz's proxy fight to get into Disney 's boardroom could lead to higher value for the company. Above all, Cramer reminded investors not to trade, but to research and identify stocks they believe in for the long term.
