british steel seeks second loan from uk government amid brexit 'challenges'

摘要

UK steelmaker British Steel is seeking a second loan from the UK government to help it address “Brexit-related issues,” the company said in a statement Tuesday. The value of the loan was not immediately disclosed. However, according to the UK's GMB union, it will be as much as ￡75 million ($96.81 million). The loan will help British Steel continue with its planned acquisition, announced last week, of troubled French special steelmaker Ascoval, the company said.
