Aluminum producer Alcoa Inc (NYSE:AA) has requested the White House to ban aluminum imports from Russia, in the wake of Russia’s latest military attacks on Ukraine, according to a report by Reuters. Moscow’s strikes on Kyiv and other cities earlier this week sparked the possibility of a retaliatory blockage of imports of aluminum from Russian aluminum producer Rusal, and Alcoa is reportedly fully supporting it. Separately, Alcoa has also solicited the delisting of Russian aluminum from the London Metal Exchange in an attempt to cripple Russian metal exports. An embargo on Russian aluminum by major Western (and other) markets would benefit non-Russian metal producers like Alcoa.
