Trump adjusts tariffs for steel, aluminum, copper

Trump is adjusting tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper, keeping a 50% tariff on pure metal goods while reducing the levy to 25% for derivative products starting April 6. This change affects construction material costs and sourcing decisions for contractors and builders.

Goods made entirely of the metals will still face a 50% tariff, but the levy will be reduced to 25% for certain derivative goods, effective April 6.
