08:30 AM EDT, 05/27/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US Steel's (X) potential buyer Nippon Steel is considering giving "golden shares" to the US government to advance acquisition talks, Japan's Nikkei reported Tuesday.

Golden shares grant the holder special rights, including veto power and the right to control the composition of the board of directors, according to the report.

Nippon is still considering its options and has not yet made an actual proposal, Nikkei said.

US Steel and Nippon Steel did not immediately reply to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
