and was reviewing "strategic alternatives" after receiving several unsolicited offers.
"At this juncture, we cannot determine whether your unsolicited proposal properly reflects the full and fair value of the Company. For all of the above reasons, the Board has no choice but to reject your unreasonable proposal," U.S. Steel CEO David Burritt said in a letter, released Sunday, to Cleveland Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves.
Burritt had revealed in an earlier statement that the company received several unsolicited offers and had launched "a comprehensive and thorough review of strategic alternatives." U.S. Steel, which said it expects to receive more proposals, said there was no guarantee that any deal would emerge from the review process.

Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement that the proposal would create "lower-cost, more innovative and stronger domestic supplier for our customers," and that he stands ready to engage on it despite U.S. Steel's rejection.
