BHP walks away from $74 billion attempt to take over mining company Anglo American

BHP has walked away from a $74 billion attempt to take over South African-based mining company Anglo American. The talks were called off in the early hours of Wednesday night. “It’s going to be fascinating to see what BHP does next – BHP wanted Anglo American for its copper assets because copper is such an important asset when it comes to the energy transition,” says Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood.
