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官方开奖结果体彩网:announced it is purchasing the Pittsburgh-based steel manufacturer for $14.9 billion. U.S. Ste🅺el is poised to join several other iconically American companies that were purchased by foreign owners.

Here are four seemingly all-American companies that were bought by foreign compa⛦nies.

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官方开奖结果体彩网:acquired by foreign companies.

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

Stellantis෴ also owns subsidiaries incl🔯uding Comau, Maserati, and 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.

Today RBI is the world’s fifth-largest ཧoperator of fast-food restaurants.
