Aluminum added to @SecretaryRoss hit list, cites national security https://t.co/JgsNDuXQ11— FOX Business (@FoxBusiness) April 27, 2017

Part of the article---Ross noted that there is just one U.S. smelter plant that can produce high-quality aluminum for the defense industry. “It is very, very dangerous to have one [high-quality] supplier of critical material” he noted.

Along with national security concerns, Ross said imports have, in part, crippled the U.S. aluminum industry which has seen at least eight smelter plants either close or dial back production since 2015. The secretary also called out China’s rising dominance of global aluminum market share. Russia and the United Arab Emirates are also big suppliers to the U.S.

I'm watching Varney and he's talking to a Congressman Mo Brooks- Alabama-He said Vice President Pence talked to him twice yesterday..and the second time our President got on the phone! Our Vice and President are working on the healthcare bill. Doesn't look like Paul Ryan is at the helm to me!
