Russia is ready to resume supplies with the American market and sell about 2 million tonnes of this metal in the US every year, which would help cut prices, President Vladimir Putin said.
If a decision is made to open the American market for our producers, we can sell about 2 million tonnes there. That would not significantly affect prices, but, in my opinion, there would still be a restraining effect on the stabilisation of prices,” he noted.
Putin noted that in 2017, Russia represented about 15% of all American aluminum imports.
“generally, the US produces about 60% of the required aluminum itself, and imports 40%”, recalls the president, adding that from this percentage of 15% comes from Russia, while the main importer today is Canada”.
