Parliament was recalled urgently to pass legislation aimed at preserving the UK’s steel production capacity.

The government intends to take control of the Scunthorpe steelworks after the Chinese owner Jingye decided to close it.

The bill empowers the Business Secretary to direct operations and seize assets if the company disobeys orders.

This intervention aims to keep the last two blast furnaces running while seeking long-term solutions or potential nationalisation.

This problem has now become existential because the company have refused to bring in the raw materials that we need to keep the blast furnaces operating.
— Industry Minister Sarah Jones commented on the breakdown of negotiations with Jingye, the owner of British Steel.

President Joe Biden intends to block the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, impacting Pennsylvania's political landscape ahead of the elections.

Key figures, including Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, oppose the deal, emphasizing the United Steelworkers' significance as a voting bloc.

U.S. Steel executives warned that thousands of jobs are at risk if the sale fails, indicating potential mill closures.
