Quick Glance: Biden vows to keep U.S. Steel in American hands
  • President Joe Biden emphasized in a speech in Pittsburgh his commitment to keeping U.S. Steel in American hands and cracking down on unfair Chinese trade practices while lauding his successes in creating jobs and expanding manufacturing in the U.S.
