MORRISTOWN, New Jersey, May 25 (Reuters) - President

Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States will have

control over U.S. Steel as part of the company's

As part of the deal announced on Friday, Nippon Steel ( NISTF ) plans

to invest $14 billion into U.S. Steel's operations, including up

to $4 billion in a new steel mill. Trump said on Friday the

merger would create 70,000 jobs.
