According to CCTV coverage, Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Jolly made it clear that Canada will fight back against US President Trump's move to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports. Jolly took a tough stance, saying "we will resolutely oppose and never compromise", but she did not disclose specific details of the counterattack. Earlier, Trump tweeted on social platforms on the evening of the 9th that he would impose a 50% tariff on copper imports into the United States, and the tariff will come into effect on August 1. According to data from Canada's Ministry of Natural Resources, Canada's exports of copper and copper-based products reached 9.30 billion Canadian dollars in 2023, of which about half were sold to the United States.
