If aluminum is used in packaging for foods, possibly canned foods, then expect to price of those items to increase as well.

On the upside - not that Felonious Trump knows anything about it - the high prices, might force more farmers to embrace regenerative farming - pesticides are killings soils and healthy soils are huge carbon sinks.
