President Donald Trump said he will impose a 50% tariff on copper imports on Tuesday, and suggested more steep sector-specific duties are on the way.
“Today, we’re doing copper,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting. “I believe the tariff on copper, we’re going to make it 50%.”
Trump also said he would soon announce tariffs “at a very, very high rate, like 200%,” on pharmaceutical imports.
Pharmaceutical companies could have up to a year and a half to start producing their products in the U.S. before those new tariffs take effect, Trump added.

Just melt and re-use the pennies.
They are worth more as plumbing.

Such a wonderful person you are.
Tariffs affect the economy and thus the Money Board. We have discussions here so feel free to discuss or kindly frick off.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened Brazil with a crippling tariff of 50% starting August 1, according to a letter he sent to the country’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva
Good Lula needs to be taugh a lesson. Along with all the brics countries

But, then he confusingly adds… “there will be no Tariff if Brazil, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States.”
How is this confusing

It’d be one (still stupid) thing to threaten 50% tariffs for some legit economic reason…it’s another thing to threaten 50% tariffs because Brazil has a trial against Bolsonaro. How about we not meddle in another country’s business? Wasn’t that one of Trump’s campaign platforms? For four years all we heard about was how Dems/Biden were weaponizing government…literally all Trump has done so far is weaponize every facet of the government against people he doesn’t like. It’s stupid and has so far accomplished nothing.
