The U.S. Slammed The Aluminum Door On Canada — Only To Realize They Just Locked Themselves In
📌 In this episode, we examine how Washington’s decision to restrict Canadian aluminum—framed as a protective trade measure—quickly revealed an unintended consequence: the United States constrained its own industrial flexibility. What was meant to apply pressure instead exposed deep integration between Canadian primary aluminum and U.S. manufacturing. As supply tightened and costs adjusted, sectors that relied on predictable, low-carbon inputs found themselves facing delays, price volatility, and limited substitutes.

🎯 Key Topics to Cover:

Why Canadian aluminum is structurally embedded in U.S. manufacturing supply chains

How trade restrictions translated into higher costs for downstream U.S. industries

The limits of domestic substitution in primary aluminum production

Why energy intensity and emissions profiles matter for modern aluminum sourcing

How policy signals disrupted long-term contracts and procurement planning

The gap between trade protection intent and industrial reality

What this episode reveals about self-inflicted constraints in integrated economies
