Feb 25 (Reuters) - Aluminum giant Alcoa AA.N said on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to impose a tariff on aluminum imports could cost about 100,000 jobs across the United States.
"We view (tariffs) as bad for the U.S.," Bill Oplinger, CEO of the Pittsburgh-based company, told the BMO Global Metals & Mining Conference in Florida. Oplinger's remarks were webcast.
