Secure Aluminum Supply Chains Act

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.
