BRUSSELS -- Steelmaking giant ArcelorMittal announced Thursday that it would shut down six cold-processing facilities in the Liege region of eastern Belgium, eliminating 1,300 jobs and triggering a strike call by trades unions.

The news, which the company said resulted from weak European demand for steel, left Socialist Belgian premier Elio Di Rupo livid ahead of a meeting with Indian metals magnate Lakshmi Mittal, who owns the company, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
