🇺🇸🇯🇵NIPPON STEEL DRAMA WON’T BREAK U.S.-JAPAN BONDS

A $14.9 billion deal blocked by Biden has Japan scratching its head, but the bigger picture isn’t about metal—it’s about China.

Despite Tokyo's frustration, Blinken and Japan’s leaders brushed off tensions, calling their partnership “stronger than ever.” 

Shared security goals tend to smooth things over.

With Trump doubling down on opposing the merger, this could signal future hurdles. 

For now, both sides seem determined to keep the peace—for reasons bigger than steel.
