I was just reading the other day the US used to get most of their aluminum from Canada, but decided to put 50% or more tariffs on it, so Canada now sells everything to Europe, which forced the US to get it from the middle East which they then started a war in. So the attacks were only a matter of time, but apparently the dumb fucks in charge were unable to understand any of it and here we are, the absolutely dumbest timeline possible.

U.S. has 60% reliance on imports for aluminium, USGS data shows

Gulf nations accounted for 22% of U.S. aluminium imports in 2025

I didn't know. Then again, I don't make decisions with any significant implications or consequences.

UAE and Bahrain are the 5th and 6th largest aluminium producers.
