Why Trump is Obsessed with Tariffs on Aluminum, Steel and Copper

August 6, 2025 08:05:00

Many have been wondering why President Trump levied 50% tariffs on aluminum, steel and copper despite these three metals being critical to many manufacturing processes. Looking deeper, it emerges that there are deeper reasons than just economics.

Trump’s political base is dominated by blue-collar workers, especially men. These are individuals that don’t have a college education and largely work or worked in factories. As manufacturing was offshored, these blue-collar workers took the brunt of the resultant job losses, and many are struggling to find employment.

The Make America Great Again movement is premised on restoring manufacturing so that this section of the population can thrive again. This partially explains why Trump has targeted imports of that trio of metals yet such hefty tariffs seem to defy logic to many analysts.

To understand how deeply Trump wants manufacturing to return to U.S. soil, think about the so-called “Rust Belt,” the stretch starting from New York State all through the entire Midwest. That reference to rust reflects the disused production sites and mills whose buildings and equipment are rusting and crumbling after activities there went silent when cheaper labor and inputs rendered state-side operations and products uncompetitive internationally.

For most of the last century, the U.S. was the number one global producer of copper, until Chile claimed this title. To this day, Chile is the biggest producer of copper globally. As for steel, the 1970s saw a rapid decline in U.S. steel production that was worsened by several recessions. Europe, South Korea and Japan developed efficient and less costly steel production technologies that supplanted those in the U.S., and that marked the end of American dominance in steel production.

During the last century, cheap electricity coupled with roaring domestic demand within the automotive, aerospace and defence industries enabled the U.S. to dominate aluminum production globally. After 2000, China emerged as a major producer and eventually became the largest aluminum producer in the world.

All these shifts led to economic decline in the states and towns where the production of those metals was conducted, and declines were also evident in regions where industries that depended on those metals existed.

MAGA is premised on restoring this lost glory and it is the reason why tariffs on these specific metal imports are so high.

For now, industries that rely on importing these inputs are going to feel the pain of those levies, and the challenges are likely to persist for a while until local extraction and processing of these metals ramps up to meet domestic demand, or Trump shifts goal posts again in true TACO format. But, given how deep his desire to give blue-collar workers their time in the sun, we are unlikely to see another TACO moment regarding these specific tariffs.

For exploration firms like Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) operating in Canada, the situation in the South across the border could present some unique opportunities to attract investment and ramp up company operations.

August 4, 2025 08:05:00

On July 31, several groups including community groups, environmental and health groups filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. federal government’s decision to postpone the implementation of standards controlling methane pollution within the oil and gas industry.

Historic Mine Site’s Similarities to Renowned Broken Hill Deposit Generates Excitement for ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

August 1, 2025 08:50:00
  • Canadian-based ESGold is preparing to begin a tailings cleanup and reuse operation at its Montauban historic mine site holdings, with plans to generate revenues that can eventually be invested in new exploration at the site without dependence on market funding
  • ESGold recently announced the results of a non-invasive Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the site, which identified several significant genetic and structural similarities with the globally renowned Broken Hill deposit in New South Wales, Australia
  • The analogues between Montauban and Broken Hill strengthen ESGold’s theory that exploration potential remains open at depth both vertically and laterally for a polymetallic deposit, reinforcing the company’s evolving view of Montauban as a structurally complex, vertically continuous mineral system
  • The near-term tailings reuse cash flow strategy is expected to generate $350 million during the first few years of operation

Sustainable gold mining innovator ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is reporting the excitement over findings that its Montauban recovery site in Quebec, Canada, shows significant similarities with a globally renowned metal deposit in Australia — shifting Montauban from classification as a simple historic producer to a high-impact exploration opportunity.

The company’s Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey produced seismic imaging results that support ESGold’s theory that the gold and silver mine site covering 13,116 hectares (about 32,410 acres) west of Quebec’s capital city shares significant genetic and structural similarities with the globally renowned…

RockBreaks – ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) Seismic Imaging and Academic Studies Support Broken Hill-Type Analogue at Montauban 

July 24, 2025 13:23:23

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) has announced results from its Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey that validate earlier academic comparisons between its Montauban Gold-Silver Project and the globally significant Broken Hill deposit in Australia. Seismic imaging confirmed mineralized zones down to 1,200 metres, reinforcing a vertically stacked model previously described in peer-reviewed research from the University of Calgary and University of British Columbia. The studies identify sulphide melting, hydrothermal activity, and structural deformation as key remobilization mechanisms for precious metals—findings now echoed by ESGold’s deep geophysical data. The Montauban project is being repositioned as a complex, multi-lens system with district-scale potential and similarities to both Broken Hill and Scandinavian massive sulfide systems. ESGold is integrating academic and geophysical data into a 3D model to guide exploration and advance its near-term production and tailings-to-cash-flow strategy.

US Scrap Copper Exports to China Plummet, Thailand Claims Bigger Share

July 23, 2025 08:05:00

According to recently released data from China’s General Administration for Customs, the country imported 183,200 metric tons of shredded and copper scrap in June this year. This marked a modest 1.06% month-on-month drop in total imports of this scrap metal, but year-on-year, the figure depicted an 8.06% increase in total volumes.

Overall, the market for scrap copper is projected to remain tight as supplies from the U.S. largely stay out of the Chinese market due to the tariff situation. The raw ore supply squeeze posits a positive indicator for investors watching prospective copper producers like Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) that could, in the…

Silvercorp Metals Inc. (NYSE-A/TSX: SVM) Targets Copper Market Entry with El Domo Project in Ecuador

July 21, 2025 08:50:00
  • Copper prices jumped 17% last week after U.S. President Donald Trump announced potential 50% tariffs on the industrial metal.
  • Global copper market is forecast to reach $253.82 billion by 2029, driven by the rapid rise of EVs, renewable energy, and infrastructure investment.
  • Supply risks in key producing regions like Chile and Peru support new project development in other jurisdictions.
  • Silvercorp’s El Domo copper-gold project in Ecuador is slated for production by late 2026.
  • Backed by strong cash flow from its existing silver operations in China, Silvercorp is growing and diversifying its portfolio at a critical time for the copper market.

Copper prices jumped 17% last week after U.S. President Donald Trump announced potential 50% tariffs on the industrial metal. The move comes amid widespread expectations of a significant rise in global copper demand over the next decade, supported by accelerating demand across construction, electric vehicles (“EVs”), renewable energy infrastructure, and electronics. As this momentum builds, Canadian mining company Silvercorp Metals (NYSE-A/TSX: SVM), is expected to benefit through the development of its copper-gold El Domo project in Ecuador, alongside existing silver and base metal operations in China.

According to a Research and Markets report, the global copper market is expected to grow from $176.88 billion in 2024 to $253.82 billion by 2029, registering a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 7.4 (https://ibn.fm/2KQBK).

July 21, 2025 08:05:00

Gold’s price has been varying within a tight range after U.S. economic data didn’t leave a clear direction for investors to make firm decisions regarding the prospects of the economy. This data comes at a time when the country, and the world, is concerned about the erratic policies on trade coming from President Trump.

Given that gold remains above $3,300 an ounce, the metal is bullish overall and the current sideways movement of the price is unlikely to cause significant concern to entities like GEMXX Corp. (OTC: GEMZ) that are engaged in gold mining and processing into consumer goods, such as…

Why Global Oil and Gas Prices Remained Largely Unchanged During the Israel-Iran War

July 2, 2025 08:05:00

What could explain this anomaly?

For now, oil and gas markets are carrying on as though the Middle East didn’t flare up in military confrontation. However, entities like GEMXX Corp. (OTC: GEMZ) are probably studying the Middle East situation closely in order to identify vital lessons that they can factor into their planning and…

June 30, 2025 08:05:00

As the biggest producer of cobalt on the globe, any action that the Democratic Republic of Congo takes is, on paper, expected to have a significant effect on the market for this metal. So, why didn’t Congo’s expiring moratorium on cobalt exports have the desired effect of shoring up cobalt prices on the world stage to the extent that the ban has been extended for another three months?

For gold and copper exploration firms like Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF), the current headwinds in the market for cobalt present learning moments that they can factor into their strategic planning processes so that their projections aren’t thrown out of whack in the…

Gold Bulls Make a Comeback as Reciprocal Tariffs Take Center Stage

April 28, 2025 08:05:00

Gold experienced intense selling pressure mid-week but the precious metal regained traction on Thursday. This came after Trump downplayed earlier reports indicating that a de-escalation of the trade war with China was imminent. He revealed that a new tariff rate could be imposed on China in the next few weeks.

However, all indicators suggest that the temporary reprieve that markets had experienced after Trump postponed the date when tariffs would take effect was now over. The reality is that economic uncertainty is high, and gold’s allure is increasing in these turbulent times. The stage looks set for enterprises like Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) to see rising inflows from investors looking to ride the bull trend that gold is…

Gold’s Rally Hits the Brakes as Investors Take Profits

April 21, 2025 08:05:00

The record-setting rally in the gold market paused on Thursday as many investors opted to cash in their gains just before the long weekend gets underway. Bullion lost 1% on the day, but the price stayed above $3,300 an ounce because of the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China, and the weakening dollar.

As the main macro factors, especially the trade war and other geopolitical risks remain largely unchanged or are even getting worse, gold looks set to remain on firm bullish ground. This bodes well for gold exploration companies like Aston Bay Holdings Ltd. (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) as investor interest is…

Bloomberg Intelligence Strategist Says Gold Could Climb to $4,000

April 16, 2025 08:05:00

Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior commodity strategist, predicts that gold’s current rally may just be the beginning of bullion’s rise and that the precious metal could be headed to a price of $4,000 for each ounce.

As a result of these conditions, McGlone says a lot of capital is moving to gold as bonds and stocks lose their appeal. He adds that if the current surge of gold continues, increased investor interest is bound to be directed towards gold mining firms. As that happens, companies like Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) with gold-rich properties could see increased capital injections into…

April 14, 2025 08:05:00

How Trump’s Tariffs are Impacting Offshore Oil and Gas Operators

April 9, 2025 08:05:00

The recently announced tariffs by the Trump administration are likely to have an adverse effect on most industries. We look at how the oil and gas industry is likely to be impacted, with the offshore activities at the Gulf of Mexico serving as a vivid example.

While Trump sings “Drill, baby, drill,” American oil and gas firms with offshore operations aren’t currently feeling the love. It would be interesting to hear what firms like GEMXX Corp.

Copper Prices Surge to Record Highs as Tariff Anxiety Spooks Markets

March 31, 2025 08:05:00

While many investors may be mesmerized by the surging price of gold, another metal, copper, is having its own bull run. Copper prices in New York reached a record-setting $5.24 for a pound of the metal after news reports suggested that President Trump was poised to slap import tariffs on copper within a few weeks. Markets had expected this action to occur much later in the year.

Once markets stabilize after the tariff situation in America is clarified, prices may correct, but growing demand suggests bull conditions for this commodity. Copper value-chain actors like Torr Metals Inc. (TSX.V: TMET) could benefit from these…

RockBreaks – Platinum Group Metals Ltd. (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) Poised for Growth Amid Potential 2X Price Surge

March 13, 2025 13:46:40

Platinum Group Metals (NYSE American: PLG) (TSX: PTM) is set to benefit from a projected rise in palladium prices, which one industry analyst predicts could double over the next decade. The expected surge is attributed to several key factors including supply constraints, high demand from the automotive industry, as well as limited substitution options. As an emerging player in the palladium sector, PLG is strengthening its position by advancing the Waterberg Project in South Africa, which is set to be one of the world’s largest and lowest-cost underground platinum group metal (“PGM”) mines. The company has explored opportunities to enhance its processing capabilities through a cooperation agreement to establish a PGM smelter and base metals refinery in Saudi Arabia. These strategic moves, coupled with the potential price increase, position PLG well to capitalize on the growing palladium market and deliver enhanced value to stakeholders.
