Blindsided Bahrain lobbies against Trump tariffs
The major aluminum exporter and US Navy host has been blindsided by President Donald Trump’s 10% tariffs on aluminum.
Bahrain has hired a high-profile US law firm to help convince the Donald Trump administration to go easy on new tariffs that could harm the US strategic ally.
Washington-based Miller and Chevalier Chartered filed paperwork with the Justice Department last week to advise Bahrain as it seeks relief from a 10% tariff on aluminum announced by the president earlier this month. The contract calls for the firm to be paid up to $110,000 to provide "legal advice and assistance" to the Bahraini Embassy in Washington through the end of March.
