President Donald Trump said Tuesday he’s imposing a new 50% tariff on all copper imported into the US. However, it’s unclear when the new tariff would take effect.

“Today we’re doing copper,” he said at a Cabinet meeting, adding that he believed the rate will be 50%.

    Guess construction costs are about to skyrocket again. Strangely, I don’t see how this is supposed to motivate manufacturers to onshore. Must be my weak lib brain unable to comprehend dear leader’s brilliant plans /s
