The government would be required to investigate whether selling aluminum scrap to certain countries poses a national security risk, since aluminum can be used in military equipment and other sensitive applications. This would affect scrap metal dealers, recycling companies, and manufacturers who currently export these materials, potentially limiting their ability to sell to certain nations. The investigation would help determine if new rules are needed to protect American security interests while managing international trade.
