Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act
Aluminum Scrap Export Security Review
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time, and the bill is not moving forward. There is no companion bill listed for this proposal.
Legislative Progress
While there is strong interest in limiting trade with China and Russia, many bills focused on studies and reports fail to gain enough momentum to pass both chambers.
Key Points
- This bill asks a government trade group to look into whether selling leftover aluminum to certain countries hurts American security. The group would have six months to finish their study and report back to leaders in Washington.
- The investigation will focus on exports to four specific countries: China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. It also looks at how companies controlled by these countries might be getting American aluminum through other ways.
- The goal is to make sure the United States has enough aluminum for its own needs and that our scrap metal is not being used by rivals to build up their own militaries or economies.
- The trade group must talk to American aluminum companies, recycling businesses, and labor unions to get their input. They will then suggest new laws or actions for Congress and the President to take based on what they find.
