Proposed Biden Trade Action Threatens over 700 Manufacturing Jobs in Armenia

-- Department of Commerce Set to Block Armenia’s Aluminum Foil Exports to the United States

WASHINGTON, DC – The Department of Commerce is set to undertake a punitive trade action against Armenal, Armenia’s sole producer and exporter of aluminum foil, a counter-productive proposal strongly opposed by the ANCA.
