Gov. Josh Shapiro, D-Pa., described the deal between US Steel and Nippon Steel that President Donald Trump announced last Friday as a "BFD," a reference to former President Biden's infamous comment when Obamacare was signed into law.

“It is a BFD [big f***ing deal],” Shapiro said, according to the Washington Examiner.

Shapiro said he repeatedly invited the White House to advcoate for former President Joe Biden to make the deal but he was disappointed by the outcome.

“I talked to his chief of staff, Jeff Zients, over and over and over again. And I was really disappointed with the decision that they made,” he said.
