美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周三宣布对铜征收50%的新关税，该关税将于8月1日生效。特朗普表示，此举是在“强有力的”国家安全评估之后做出的，该评估得出的结论是，关税对于保护被认为对多个行业至关重要的商品的国内生产是必要的。“铜是半导体、飞机、船舶、弹药、数据中心、锂离子电池、雷达系统、导弹防御系统甚至高超音速武器所必需的，我们正在建造其中的许多武器，”特朗普在Truth Social上的一篇帖子中说。根据美国地质调查局的数据，2024年，美国进口了81万吨精炼铜，几乎占其国内需求的一半。根据美国人口普查局的数据，智利、加拿大和墨西哥预计将受到新关税的影响最大，因为它们是2024年美国精炼铜、铜合金和铜产品的最大供应商。
US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a new 50% tariff on copper, set to take effect on August 1. Trump said the move followed a "robust" national security assessment that concluded tariffs were necessary to protect domestic production of a commodity deemed critical across multiple industries. “Copper is necessary for semiconductors, aircraft, ships, ammunition, data centers, lithium-ion batteries, radar systems, missile defense systems, and even hypersonic weapons, of which we are building many,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. In 2024, the US imported 810,000 metric tons of refined copper—nearly half of its domestic needs—according to the US Geological Survey. Chile, Canada, and Mexico are expected to be most affected by the new tariff, as they were the top suppliers of refined copper, copper alloys, and copper products to the US in 2024, according to US Census Bureau data.
