  • Copper may see a 50 per cent tariff as well, with both products previously exempt from US tariffs pending investigations.
  • Trump stated, 'We're going to give about a year, a year and a half to come in, and after that, they're going to be tariffed,' indicating a grace period before high tariffs are implemented.
  • Chalmers criticized the plan, stating that the tariffs are 'bad for the US, bad for Australia and bad for the global economy.
