U.S. has 60% reliance on imports for aluminium, USGS data shows

Gulf nations accounted for 22% of U.S. aluminium imports in 2025

I didn't know. Then again, I don't make decisions with any significant implications or consequences.

UAE and Bahrain are the 5th and 6th largest aluminium producers.

The funny part is that I bet Trump admin didn't know either. It's like when he started the tariff war and then started discovering how dependent the US is on China.
