President Donald Trump announced new tariff adjustments on aluminum, steel, and copper imports, effective April 6, 2026. The changes impose full‑value ad‑valorem duties—50 % on most aluminum and steel products, 25 % on most copper items, and 10 % on goods whose metal content originates entirely in the United States. British products receive reduced rates (25 % for metal items, 15 % for derivatives). The proclamation ends earlier inclusion processes and authorizes the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to add derivative articles when they threaten national security. It also sets a 90‑day review by the Secretary to assess import levels and national‑security implications. The policy also aims to strengthen domestic manufacturing and reduce foreign dependence efforts.
