According to the newspaper, a schedule for a meeting with the Trump administration is believed to be undetermined, but Nippon Steel chairman and chief executive officer Eiji Hashimoto is expected to attend. 

Japan's TV Tokyo reported that Nippon Steel still wants to acquire all of United States Steel Corp., and not just take a stake in the company, despite statements from U.S. and Japanese leaders indicating that Nippon Steel's acquisition will take some other form.

President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he "wouldn't mind" a Japanese company taking a minority stake in U. S. Steel. 

"Minority stake I wouldn't mind greatly," he said, according to the Reuters news service.
