Magnitude 7 Metals will restart partial production at its idled Missouri aluminum smelter before year-end, adding about 75,000 tonnes/year to U.S. capacity. The company attributed the decision to Section 232 aluminum tariffs implemented under the Trump administration, which target imports used in autos, beverage cans and construction. The smelter was shut in 2024.
