Nippon Steel and US Steel are suing the US government over blocking a takeover.

They claim President Joe Biden "ignored the rule of law to gain favor" with trade unions.

The $ 14.9bn ( 11.8bn ) takeover of US Steel would strengthen Japan 's ability to compete with China .

Biden said a strong domestically-owned steel industry was essential for national security.
