The CEO and President of Aluminum Association asked for an exemption from tariffs for Canada and Mexico when negotiating the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

More than US$220 billion worth of aluminum has got into the US border to go in and go out of Canada and Mexico since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was effective.

The Aluminum Association recently started a call to urge the Trump administration to implement seriously on China instead of Canada. The complete exemptions from tariffs on Canadian and Mexican aluminum will help the US' aluminum industry and a huge amount of US' workers who depended on its success.
