AEC applauds USTR decision to help protect U.S. aluminum industry

The Aluminum Extruders Council (AEC), Wauconda, Ill., has announced its strong support for the new trade enforcement action against the People’s Republic of China announced by the United States Trade Representative (USTR).

The action seeks to have the World Trade Organization (WTO) address U.S. concerns that China’s subsidies to certain producers of primary aluminum are causing “serious prejudice” to U.S. interests by artificially expanding Chinese capacity, production, and market share.
