The sanctions were imposed by former president Donald Trump.
The United States and the EU has struck a new trade deal lifting trade sanctions on aluminium imposed by Donald Trump.
A new agreement will see import tariffs based on carbon emissions, a move likely to benefit the Aughinish Alumina plant in Foynes, Co Limerick.
The alumina refinery supplies up to a third of aluminium foundries in Europe with raw material.
It's owner Rusal claims it's one of the world's most energy-efficient, something President Joe Biden says is top priority in the deal.
