Sorry, better to say (post #10):
Electric Boat should not be owned by any foreign company.
Is US Steel in that same category?
US Steel doesn’t make anything truly vital to American security. No armor plating, they aren’t producers of steel for ships or submarines I’m aware of and their number one product is cold roll steel.
That’s appliances and cars. They still have a pipe mill I believe.
The days of them being the builders of bridges, skyscrapers, overpasses and rail from coast to coast have been gone for 30+ years.
“Electric Boat should not be owned by any foreign company.

A bit late to start blocking this stuff.
Bush allowed EVRAZ to buy Oregon Steel in 2007. So while the US was supposedly against Putin in Georgia, they were allowing a Russian oligarch to buy the USA sole source of ballistic plate.
They finally forced a divestiture in 2022 after the Ukraine invasion.
