On May 7, the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti published a story claiming that new U.S. sanctions against companies owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska (who is also personally a target of the U.S. sanctions) would seriously damage American businesses. The article cited Alexis Rodzianko, president and CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia. Rodzianko explained that sanctioning Deripaska’s company Rusal, the world’s second-largest aluminum producer, would hurt companies like the Ford Motor Company. Using the popular Ford F150 pickup truck as an example, Rodzianko said the company would not have enough aluminum to supply the market demand for that model. The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company.The 13th-generation (2015-present) Ford F-Series pickups have an aluminum body (as opposed to steel, which was used in previous models). However, Ford does not depend on Rusal or any other foreign source of aluminum to produce these trucks. F150 is only produced in the U.S.
