Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Announces 50% Tariff on Foreign Copper Imports
Caption: Trump Announces 50% Tariff on Foreign Copper Imports. President Donald Trump has confirmed that copper imported into the United States will soon face a 50% tariff, in a move aimed at strengthening domestic industry. The announcement follows an earlier investigation into whether foreign copper imports pose a threat to national security, part of Trump’s broader push for tariffs across key sectors, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and lumber. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Trump said simply: “Today we're doing copper. We're going to make it 50%.” Following the news, copper prices in the U.S. soared to record highs. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the tariffs will likely take effect by the end of the month, once formal documents are signed. The decision signals another assertive step in Trump’s America-first trade agenda, with more industry-specific tariffs potentially on the way.
