Tariffs, sanctions, and embargoes, oh my! And they’re hitting aluminum just as hard as steel.
So join SMU on Wednesday, May 14, at 11 am ET (10 am CT) for a special Community Chat focusing on the impact of Trump’s trade policies on the aluminum market.
You can register here. The live webinar is free for anyone to attend. A recording will be available only to SMU subscribers.
We’ll bring you expertise from Aluminum Market Update (AMU), an SMU sister publication that’s scheduled to launch this summer.
AMU’s Greg Wittbecker, an aluminum industry veteran, will address not only US tariffs but also evolving trade routes – and how supply chains are (or aren’t) adjusting. He’ll also touch on broader industrial impacts, from auto layoffs to the potential ripple effect of maritime tax policies.
And he’ll take you questions too. So register and bring some good ones to the Q&A on Wednesday, May 14, at 11 am ET.
Editor’s note
Are you looking for the latest aluminum market intelligence? You can be among the first to pre-register for AMU. To do so, reach out to AMU Senior Editor Gabriella Vagnini at gabriella.vagnini@crugroup.com.

SMU Community Chat: Wednesday With AGC Chief Economist Ken Simonson
We’ll have a lot to talk about because construction is at the intersection of so many of today’s hot-button issues. The main question: Will construction thrive or dive in the rest of ’25? (Nothing wrong with a rhyme, even in serious times.)
