In the UK, Prime Minister David Cameron is under growing pressure to nationalise a series of steel plants to save the industry in Britain.
Tata steel wants to sell its UK plants which employ 15 000 people, many of them in Wales.
The government is looking for a buyer for Tata's operations - losing millions of dollars a week because of a global glut of steel due in large measure to Chinese manufacturers dumping cheap product on world markets.
But the First Minister for Wales, Carwyn Jones, is among those now calling for Tata's plants to be taken into 'public ownership' until a buyer can be lined up.
