BlockBeats News, July 9th. During a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, U.S. President Trump told reporters that more trade agreements are on the way, especially in the form of letters setting unilateral tax rates by the United States. "These agreements are basically me asking them," Trump said. "The numbers we have chosen are both low and fair."
Trump added that the U.S. will impose a 50% new tariff on imported copper. "Today we are targeting copper. I think we will set the copper tariff at 50%." New York copper futures surged in response, with an intraday gain expanding to 17% at one point.
Furthermore, Trump stated that the U.S. will soon impose tariffs of up to 200% on drugs, but before the tariffs take effect, companies will have a year and a half to adjust their supply chains. Trump also mentioned that he will soon announce tariffs on semiconductors, but he did not specify the tariff level or date. (Golden Finance)
