Trump's Bold Tariff Move: A 50% Copper Import Levy

In a significant policy shift, President Donald Trump is set to unveil a 50% tariff on imported copper, marking a substantial move in his administration's trade policy strategy.

This decision stems from a previous investigation initiated in February under Section 232, examining the implications of red metal imports on U.S. national security.

The announcement promises to influence both domestic and international copper markets, reflecting the administration's broader efforts to bolster American industry.
