Trump Threatens 200% Tariffs On Pharma, Announces 50% Levy On Copper

President Donald Trump vowed to push forward with his aggressive tariff regime in the coming days, stressing he would not offer additional extensions on country-specific levies set to now hit in early August while indicating he could announce substantial new rates on imports of copper and pharmaceuticals. 

The president said he would impose a 50% rate on copper products being sent into the US and threatened 200% tariffs on pharmaceutical products.

Trump said he would still tag imports from India with an additional 10% levy for their participation in BRICS.
