U.S. Aluminum Manufacturing: National Security and Tariffs
Abstract
Aluminum - a lightweight, ductile, malleable, and corrosion-resistant metal - is increasingly used in many industrial and technological applications, including in products used for national defense and lower emission vehicles. In Congress, views on the aluminum industry generally diverge between those who support policies to increase domestic production for national security and economic reasons and others who argue that such policies may raise aluminum prices and harm aluminum-consuming sectors (e.g., transportation equipment, containers and packaging, and construction).
