Trump's 50% copper tariffs to include refined metal - report

Trump’s promised 50% copper tariffs are set to include all refined metal, indicating the president’s far-reaching efforts to bolster the American production of the metal Bloomberg reported.
特朗普的50%銅關稅將包括所有精煉金屬，顯示總統推動美國金屬生產的廣泛努力。

The tariff, scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, will apply to all refined copper imports entering the U.S., including pure copper cathodes and semi-finished copper products such as rods and tubes that are essential inputs for American manufacturers.
關稅將於 2025 年 8 月 1 日生效，適用於所有進口美國的精鍊銅 ，包括純銅陰極和半成品如棒管，這些是製造商的關鍵輸入。

The White House's Council of Economic Advisers met with industry leaders just hours after Trump announced a 50% copper tariff on Tuesday. The lobbyists requested that the president exclude export limits on copper scrap, according to the report.
特朗普週二宣佈 50%銅關稅後數小時，白宮經濟顧問與行業領袖會面。 遊說者請求總統豁免銅廢料的出口限制，據報告。

Copper makes up the largest category of metals imported by the U.S., and the tariffs aim at bolstering domestic copper production and reducing reliance on foreign sources for a metal critical to infrastructure, technology, energy, and defense sectors.
銅是美國進口量最大的金屬類別，關稅旨在提升國內生產並減少對基礎設施、技術、能源和國防領域關鍵金屬的外國依賴。

The announcement caused concern among U.S. manufacturers, as domestic production does not meet current demand, and the tariff is expected to raise costs and potentially disrupt supply chains.
此宣佈引起美國製造商擔憂，因國內產量不足需求，且關稅預計提高成本並可能擾亂供應鏈。
