Donald Trump’s recent decision to impose new tariffs on car imports has triggered a domino effect already being felt in the aluminum sector, a key material in vehicle manufacturing. In Europe, the reaction was swift. The European Union is considering retaliatory measures, including possible counter-tariffs, which could intensify trade tensions. Experts agree that the final impact will depend on the duration of these policies and the international negotiations. In the short term, the aluminum sector could experience volatility in demand and prices. In the medium term, a reconfiguration of global supply chains is possible, with regional markets gaining more prominence compared to international trade.
