From the Daily Caller: The White House appeared to make a mistake Friday in its latest executive order, which blocked Nippon Steel’s roughly $15 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel.
The order, issued Friday, repeats language from a May executive order on Chinese Real Estate, beginning with “regarding the acquisition of certain real property of Cheyenne leads by MineOne cloud computing investment I L.P.,” according to an archived version of the executive order. It is the exact language used in the title of the president’s May executive order.
The decision to keep U.S. Steel domestically owned was referred to the president by a national security review in December after failing to reach a consensus. Biden wrote in a Friday statement that his decision on the sale is a part of his larger commitment to “defend U.S. national security.” The sale would have placed America’s second largest steel producer under foreign control.
The Biden White House appears to have since removed the erroneous language, as it is not in the current online version of the executive order.
Journalist Ken Moriyasu pointed out the error in a social media post, and wrote, “Oops. White House copy-and-pastes from a previous presidential order on a Chinese real estate transaction and uses it for the Nippon Steel announcement. And forgets to delete the title.”

Should we tell them or just let them keep signing these orders? Funny he is even sabotaging his sabotaging before leaving office.— Slim Pickens (@SLIMPICKENSSHOW) January 3, 2025
