The United States and Great Britain have banned the shipment of Russian metal
However, the US Treasury has indicated that in certain cases, exceptions may be made to the ban for imports of these metals. The regulations will apply to shipments released after April 13th, but there may be exceptions in specific circumstances.According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2024, the country only imported $105,000 worth of aluminum. In 2021, copper imports totaled $100 million, nickel - $158 million, and aluminum - $612 million. As a result, in 2023 aluminum imports decreased to $44 million, nickel to $26 million, and copper to $53,000. The Russian Ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov, described the U.S. sanctions on three Russian metals - copper, nickel, and aluminum - as a political move. He said it was not just a "shot in the leg", but "indiscriminate shooting".
