Venezuela's Venalum resumes aluminum exports to US with 15,000-ton shipment

Venezuelan state-owned aluminum producer Venalum has resumed exports to the United States, shipping over 15,000 tons of high-purity ingots (99.5-99.7%). This marks a notable trade resumption, likely reflecting easing sanctions or new licensing, and signals a shift in US-Venezuela commercial relations. The shipment's size and quality indicate potential for sustained trade, but the underlying policy basis remains unconfirmed.
