The Biden administration is weighing restricting imports of Russian aluminum, a person briefed on the conversations told Reuters, Trend reports.
Such a move, which has not been finalized, would likely boost global prices for the metal used in a wide range of consumer products and could reverse a previous White House stance that such sanctions could wreak havoc on global markets.
“We’re always considering all options,” said a White House official. “There is no movement on this as of now.”
The Treasury and Commerce departments did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
