Like our Steel and Aluminum Industries, our Great American Copper Industry has been decimated by global actors attacking our domestic production. To build back our Copper Industry, I have requested my Secretary of Commerce and USTR to study Copper Imports, and end Unfair Trade putting Americans out of work. Tariffs will help build back our American Copper Industry, and strengthen our National Defense. American Industries depend on Copper, and it should be MADE IN AMERICA - No exemptions, no exceptions! America First creates American jobs, and protects our National Security. It’s time for Copper to “come home.”

By decimated by global actors, I think he means the free markets are choosing to use suppliers who best fit their needs. By stripping choice from the markets, you are ruining free enterprise and creating monopolies.
