President Trump is pushing through with his tariff agenda, unveiling a new batch of letters to country leaders outlining tariffs on goods imported from their countries beginning in August and a warning to BRICS nations.

Global manufacturing executives are begging for clarity on Donald Trump’s tariff policy before a 50 per cent levy is imposed on copper imports, as their stockpiles diminish and the clock ticks on existing contracts.

President Trump wants America to produce more of the much-needed mineral, but a 50 percent tariff could undermine his aim of a manufacturing renaissance.

President Donald Trump has announced a 50% tariff on all copper imports, a move that could shake industries across the country. This means that companies bringing copper into the U.S. from other countries will have to pay half the value of that as a fee.

Berner agrees that higher copper tariffs will bring up prices for U.S. homebuilders. This would leave them with two options: pass on the additional costs to homebuyers or build less, a move that is likely to exacerbate the country's ongoing shortage.

Prices of clothing and shoes are expected to be particularly impacted by the tariffs, Yale University’s Budget Lab found.

Starting August 1, the United States will implement a 50% tariff on copper, a measure announced by President Donald Trump.
