Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said Monday he had a plan to buy U.S. Steel as he launched a tirade against Japan, calling the close U.S. ally “evil” during a news conference.

The CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF) reiterated that he still wants to buy US Steel (NYSE:X) after Biden moved to block the planned $14 billion sale to Nippon Steel (OTCPK:NPSCY) earlier this month.
