EU Moves to Protect Aluminium Industry From Trump Tariff Fallout

The European Union has introduced measures intended to protect the bloc’s aluminium industry from higher tariffs imposed by the United States under President Donald Trump, the Financial Times reported. EU recycling plants have begun shutting capacity because U.S. producers, facing import duties on primary metal, can now afford to pay more for European scrap, diverting material away from domestic processors. Brussels’ steps—details of which were not disclosed—aim to keep more scrap within the single market and slow further capacity closures.
