I don't think it's the US strategic interest for Nvidia to own ARM. International corporations don't have any particular loyalty to the country where their corporate HQ is located, and fewer semiconductor companies just mean higher prices and fewer choices. Also the acquisition would accelerate movement by Nvidia's competitors away from ARM. The only pie that is grown by merging two successful companies is the wealth of the stockholders, everyone else is worse off.

Looking at this from the perspective of a US citizen I see it as a very bad merger and I'm glad they're suing to stop it. We need more competition not less. Nvidia doesn't exactly have the best record in serving the public.
