The Department of Commerce has self-initiated an investigation under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
From the article:
"The investigation will determine whether imports of automobiles, including SUVs, vans and light trucks, and automotive parts into the United States threaten to impair the national security as defined in Section 232," stated an article by the Department of Commerce. "This investigation will consider whether the decline of domestic automobile and automotive parts production threatens to weaken the internal economy of the United States, including by potentially reducing research, development, and jobs for skilled workers in connected vehicle systems, autonomous vehicles, fuel cells, electric motors and storage, advanced manufacturing processes, and other cutting-edge technologies."

Dear Valued Client,
The President has announced on Truth Social that effective August 1, 2025, there will be a 50% tariff assessed on copper imports. The President states that copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense.
The Administration ordered a Section 232 investigation on copper back in February. The President notes in his post that he has received robust National Security Assessment which results in the copper tariff announcement.
At this time, there is no official Executive Order addressing the copper tariffs.
