The largest aluminum producer in the US, Alcoa Corp, said that President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff on metal imports has already cost the company $20mn since the duties went into effect earlier this month. The company is said to have incurred the costs on imports of aluminum from Canada, which is their largest metal-producing region. Alcoa, said it that it has “engaged with customers, suppliers and logistics companies to avoid supply disruption”.
