US President Donald J. Trump on Friday expressed support for Nippon Steel's $14.9-billion bid for US Steel saying their "planned partnership" would create jobs and help the American economy.

Shares of US Steel soared 21% as investors interpreted Mr. Trump’s post on Truth Social to mean Nippon Steel had received his approval for its long-planned takeover, the last major hurdle for the deal.

“This will be a planned partnership between United States Steel and Nippon Steel, which will create at least 70,000 jobs, and add $14 Billion Dollars to the US Economy,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Last week, Reuters reported that Nippon Steel has said if the merger is approved, it would invest $14 billion into US Steel’s operations, including up to $4 billion in a new steel mill.

Mr. Trump added that the bulk of that investment would occur in the next 14 months and said he would hold a rally at US Steel in Pittsburgh next Friday.
