President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Pennsylvania on May 30 to celebrate a details-to-come deal for Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in U.S. Steel.

The U.S. government is poised to receive a so-called golden share in U.S. Steel as a condition for approving Nippon Steel's proposed acquisition of the American company.

President Donald Trump said U.S. Steel will keep its headquarters in Pittsburgh in a possible signal that he’ll approve a bid by Japan-based Nippon Steel to invest in the steelmaker.

Nippon Steel has bolstered its pledge to invest in U.S. Steel in the event that President Donald Trump approves the Japanese company’s proposed $14.1 billion takeover.
