Copper underpins every part of the economy. If you want to destroy the U.S. economy this is how you would do it.

You can’t create new copper mines in our country.

The copper mines in the world are where they are.

There’s literally nothing you can do about it.

You can tariff copper 10,000% and it still won’t change the fact that most of the copper on earth is in Chile and Peru.

Everything uses Copper. Housing, cars, electronics.
Many metal products have copper mixed in too.

Which stage of capitalism is it when countries, businesses, and consumers, get tariffed because Person A doesn’t like how Person B is being treated? pic.twitter.com/MO8gTLFbxV
