US EditionTrump says he will impose 50% tariff on copper
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – The 50% tariff aims to protect US industry amid trade imbalances and national security concerns, pushing copper prices to record highs and affecting global supply chains, experts say.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump revealed a sudden 50% tariff on all copper imports to the United States, representing the fourth comprehensive tariff he has implemented during his current term.
- The tariff follows concerns that global copper competitors threaten U.S. national security amid increasing copper demand and limited domestic supply growth.
- Chile, the largest foreign copper supplier shipping $6 billion worth last year, said it had received no formal notice and questioned which products would be affected.
- Copper futures surged over 12%, reaching record intraday prices, while analysts said the tariffs would support higher U.S. copper prices despite possible short-term global disruptions.
- This tariff move could escalate the global trade war and affect copper-reliant sectors, though the timing and full impact of enforcement remain unclear.
