French Minister Urges Giant Steel Maker To Quit the Country

In an extraordinary attack, Arnaud Montebourg also threatened the company with temporary nationalisation.

"We no longer want Mittal in France because they don't respect France," Montebourg said in an interview with the financial newspaper Les Echos.
