I know it feels like we’re all trapped in a Sisyphean nightmare with all the discussions of tariffs, but don’t shoot the messenger. Trump’s latest move is a 50% tariff on copper imports is going to do a lot of harm.

You all know that the US needs to build out its industrial capacity in the face of deglobalization, and copper happens to be an important part of that. Building domestic copper production would take over a decade and all these pesky tariffs are only extending that timeline.
