Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE: CLF) has responded to lawsuits filed by U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel following the U.S. Government's decision to block Nippon Steel's acquisition of U.S. Steel. CEO Lourenco Goncalves characterized these lawsuits against the U.S. Government, USW, and Cleveland-Cliffs as a desperate attempt to deflect blame for their failed deal.

The deal faced significant bipartisan opposition, including from former President Trump and Senators Vance, Rubio, and Hawley, who urged CFIUS to block the sale. The President's final decision followed a year-long national security review, emphasizing the importance of maintaining American control over critical steelmaking infrastructure. The statement highlighted Japan's history of steel overcapacity and harmful dumping practices in the United States.

Notably, U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt sold personal stock at $50.01 on the deal's announcement day, December 18, 2023. Cleveland-Cliffs maintains the lawsuit is baseless and expressed readiness to defend their position in court.
