What's CITY Talking About?
💰 Trump To Tout US Steel, Nippon Partnership
President Donald Trump is expected to hold a rally at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in West Mifflin today to laud a "planned partnership" between U.S. Steel and Japan-based Nippon Steel, which reportedly includes a nearly $14 billion investment into the Pittsburgh-based steel company. Details of the arrangement are still unclear, and Nippon hasn't said whether it's agreed to any final terms.
- 🇺🇸 According to Trump and U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick, U.S. Steel will still have an American CEO, and the U.S. government will get veto power over certain decisions.
- ➡️ Gov. Josh Shapiro and Lt. Gov. Austin Davis both say their priority is to keep and grow union jobs in Western PA. [🎧 City Cast Pittsburgh / Associated Press]
🚓 Devine Remains Acting Police Chief
City Council unanimously voted to allow Martin Devine to stay the leader of the bureau through the end of Mayor Ed Gainey's tenure — giving expected mayor Corey O’Connor the opportunity to nominate the next chief. Devine will remain in the position until Feb. 1, 2026. There have been five chiefs or acting chiefs since Gainey took office. [TribLive]
🚗 Armstrong Tunnel Reopens

🥹 Sully Thanks Pittsburgh
After parting ways with the team last month, former Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan is saying farewell to the Burgh with billboards that read: "Thank you, Pittsburgh. Cup family is forever.” Sullivan led the team to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2016 and in 2017; he’s now with the New York Rangers. [KDKA]
