#TRUMP Alcoa, the aluminum producer, reported on Thursday that its order book for the second quarter remains strong despite the US tariffs.

The company did not observe any decline in orders that could be attributed to these tariffs, according to CEO William Oplinger, who made the comments at a mining event in Melbourne.

Oplinger noted that despite uncertainty among their customers about the future, the company’s order book for the first and second quarters has been strong. However, he acknowledged that the company does not have clear insight into the situation beyond the first half of this year.

The company previously stated during last month's first-quarter earnings call that they anticipate US tariffs on aluminum imports from Canada will cost the company about $90 million in the second quarter.

In addition to the tariff-related challenges, Alcoa is also facing potential risks in Spain due to power outages that occurred this week. The company did not provide further details on the potential impact of this development on their business operations in Spain.
