   discussions will progress after the presidential election.   
      
   Last week, Mr. Trump reiterated that he would block Nippon Steel’s   
   acquisition if he became president. Vice President Kamala Harris, now the   
   Democratic presidential nominee, has not publicly commented on it.   
      
   On Aug. 15, the grievances that the United Steelworkers lodged against the   
   deal were heard by a panel of arbitrators in Philadelphia. The arbitration   
   board will either say the deal can go through as it stands or recommend   
   that U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel make certain adjustments. The decision is   
   due by the end of September.   
      
   The union has contested the commitments it was offered by Nippon Steel. It   
   points to a vow by Nippon Steel not to lay off any employees or close any   
   plants. But the union said the pledge would remain valid only through the   
   end of the current labor contract and would be subject to exceptions for   
   “extraordinary circumstances.”   
      
   The union has an interest in pushing hard for concessions at a place of   
   maximum strength before the election, said Jonathan Grady, the founding   
   principal of the consultancy firm Canary Group, who has analyzed the deal   
   for investors.   
      
   On the other side, it is advantageous for Nippon Steel to try to play out   
   the clock and gain the upper hand, he added.   
      
   “It’s a complicated game being played between Nippon Steel and the local   
   steel union,” Mr. Grady said. “Almost a year in, the Nippon Steel merger   
   deal has turned into something like a high-stakes, $15 billion game of   
   chicken.”
