ʻO Marian Năstase, ka luna o Alro, Romaniaalakaʻi alumini hui, hōʻike ʻo ia i kona hopohopo e hiki ke hoʻololi i ke kulekele tariff hou o ka US i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā huahana alumini mai Asia, ʻoi aku hoʻi mai Kina a me Indonesia. Mai ka makahiki 2017, ua hoʻokau pinepine ka US i nā kumukūʻai hou ma nā huahana alumini Kina. I Fepeluali 2025, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Trump i ka uku 25% ma nā huahana alumini a pau i lawe ʻia mai i ka US, hiki ke ālai i nā kaila kālepa hoʻokuʻu hou ʻana no nā huahana alumini Kina a koi aku i kekahi o nā huahana alumini i koho mua ʻia no ka US e ʻimi i nā mākeke ʻē aʻe.

Ma lalo o ia mau kūlana, ua alakaʻi ke kulekele tariff US i nā loli i nā kahe kalepa, a ʻike paha ka mākeke ʻEulopa i nā huahana alumini mai Kina, e hoʻopilikia i nā mea hana alumini kūloko ma ʻEulopa.
