Harris says US Steel should remain American-owned (Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - New York, 03 Sep - Shares in US Steel were sharply lower in premarket trading after vice president Kamala Harris said the company should remain American-owned, opposing the 14.1 billion dollar takeover proposed by Japan's Nippon Steel.

The Democratic presidential candidate said yesterday at a Labor Day event US Steel should remain domestically owned and operated.

Republican nominee Donald Trump has said he would also block the deal should he win a second term in November's presidential elections.

At 1233 GMT shares in US Steel were down 4.5%.
