Its name may reference the United States of America, but U.S. Steel (X) is set to be owned by a non-American company.

Japan’s largest steel manufacturer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced it is purchasing the Pittsburgh-based st🧸eel manufacturer for $14.9 billion. U.S. Steel is poised to join several other ico꧋nically American companies that were purchased by foreign owners.

Here are four s🗹eemingly all-American companies that were 🅰bought by foreign companies.

Anheuser-Busch

In 2008, Belgian multinational drink and brewing firm InBev acquired St. Louis-based Budweiser-maker Anheuser-Busch, creating AB InBev (BUD).

The merger created one of the world’s top five consumer products companies that produces some of America's best-selling beers.

Chrysler

Chrysler may have started as a powerhouse of U.S. automaking but has since been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:acquired by foreign companies.

The Netherlands-based Stellantis NV (STLA) conglomerate arose from the merger between Fiat Chrysler and PSA Group, which was completed in 2021. That me💧rger🌃 gave birth to one of the world’s largest auto manufacturers.

Stellantis also owns subsidiaries including Comau, Maserati, 𝓡and Mopar.

Firestone

In 1988, Bridgestone Tire Company Ltd., founded by Shojiro Ishibashi of Japan in 1931, purchased The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. This created the world’s largest tire and rubber 🅷firm.

Restaurant Brands International

Canadian-American Restaurant Brands International (QSR) was formed in 2014 via the $12.5 million merger between Canadian restaurant chain Tim Hortons and American fast-food magnate Burger King.
