Russia might halt Titanium supply to Boeing.

I didn't realize Boeing had such a dependence on Russia as a supplier. For Russia to withhold Titanium would be a new kind of retaliation, against an American company. But then wouldn't Russia lose the purchase of all that titanium?

Russia could stop exporting titanium to Boeing in retaliation to Trump sanctions

Why are we unable to make it?

Japan exports nearly as much Titanium as Russia.

Virginia has titanium:
Division of Geology and Mineral Resources - Titanium

That's interesting. I wonder if it is because Boeing needs more Titanium than Japan or the US can supply they go with Russia.
