WASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) - Any review of the deal

by Japan's Nippon Steel ( NISTF ) for U.S. Steel by the

Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States will

proceed as normal, a White House official said on Thursday.

White House National Economic Adviser Lael Brainard said at

the Semafor World Economy Summit 2024 that any national-security

review of the deal would continue as normal after U.S. President

Joe Biden said he opposed the sale to a foreign buyer.
