One is the second largest producer of Aluminium in the world. Presumably, US companies want to be able to buy aluminum and other goods they produce.
But doesn't that defeat the purpose of the 25% tariffs that Mr. Trump placed on imported aluminum - to foster the growth of an American aluminum production industry?
Well, OK, so that tariff still impacts America's most dangerous enemy - Canada - but how would flooding the American market with cheap Russian aluminum help the American aluminum production industry thrive?
Oh - right - you don't make aluminum from coal so that's OK.
