Nippon Steel Corp. plans to invest $14 billion in United States Steel Corp. if the Trump administration approves the merger of the companies, Reuters reported.

Details of the plan include Nippon Steel investing $4 billion in a new steel mill, Reuters said, citing a document and people familiar with the matter.

May 21 is the deadline for the completion of a new national security review of Nippon Steel’s proposed takeover.
