President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed on order imposing a universal 50% tariff on copper imports, the latest metal he has targeted with a steep import tax.
The new, higher copper tariffs go into effect Friday, according to a fact sheet released by the White House.
The Trump administration says that the new duties, which follow 50% U.S. tariffs already imposed on steel and aluminum, are aimed at boosting domestic industries and addressing “trade imbalances.”
