White House Delays Decision on Refined Copper Tariffs
The White House has delayed a decision on refined copper tariffs as it weighs incentives for domestic production against the risk of higher manufacturing costs and affordability pressures ahead of the November midterms, leaving tariff policy and its implications for copper markets uncertain, Reuters' Jarrett Renshaw and Ernest Scheyder report. "The administration continues to evaluate all options to reshore copper and other critical manufacturing back to the United States," a White House official said.
