Trump's 50% duty on copper may not impact India

The article discusses former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 50% tariff on copper imports and suggests it might not significantly affect India. While such a move could disrupt global trade, India's limited direct copper exports to the U.S. mean the immediate impact could be minimal. However, broader market shifts or indirect effects on global prices could still ripple through the industry.
Editor’s Note: If you're wondering whether Trump's latest trade proposal will shake up India's economy, the short answer is: probably not much—at least not directly. But tariffs like these often have unpredictable side effects, like shifting global supply chains or altering commodity prices. For now, though, India's copper industry seems insulated from the worst of it. Still, it's a reminder of how interconnected—and sometimes fragile—global trade can be.
