WASHINGTON, April 18 (Reuters) - Any review of the deal
by Japan's Nippon Steel  5401.T  for U.S. Steel  X.N  by the
Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States will
proceed as normal, a White House official said on Thursday.
    White House National Economic Adviser Lael Brainard said at
the Semafor World Economy Summit 2024 that any national-security
review of the deal would continue as normal after U.S. President
Joe Biden said he opposed the sale to a foreign buyer.
