Trump: US to impose 50% tariff on copper imports
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- President Donald Trump said he will announce a 50 percent tariff on copper on Tuesday, hoping to boost US production of a metal critical to electric vehicles, military hardware, the power grid and many consumer goods. US Comex copper futures jumped more than 12 percent to a record high after Trump announced the planned tariffs, which came earlier than the industry had expected, and the rate was steeper. Trump told reporters at a White House cabinet meeting that he planned to make the copper tariff announcement later in the day but he did not say when the tariff would take effect. "I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make 50 percent," Trump said. After Trump spoke, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in an interview on CNBC that the copper tariffs would likely be put in place by the end of July or August 1. He said Trump would post details on his Truth Social media account sometime on Tuesday. Trump had yet to formally announce the tariffs by Wednesday evening and several countries, mining companies and trade groups said they were awaiting firm details. Analysts with RBC Capital Markets said they expect short-term volatility in copper prices and shares of copper companies should the tariff be implemented. In February, the administration announced a so-called Section 232 investigation into US imports of the red metal. The deadline for the investigation to conclude was November, but Lutnick said the review was already complete. "The idea is to bring copper home, bring copper production home, bring the ability to make copper, which is key to the industrial sector, back home to America," Lutnick said. The National Mining Association declined to comment, saying it preferred to wait until details were released. The American Critical Minerals Association did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Copper is used in construction, transportation, electronics and many other industries. The US imports roughly half of its copper needs each year and only has three copper smelters. Major copper mining projects across the US have faced strong opposition in recent years due to a variety of reasons, including Rio Tinto and BHP's Resolution Copper project in Arizona and Northern Dynasty Minerals' Pebble Mine project in Alaska. Shares of the world's largest copper producer, Phoenix-based Freeport-McMoRan, shot up more than 5 percent at one point in Tuesday trading. The company, which produced 1.26 billion pounds (571,530 metric tons) of copper in the US last year, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Freeport, which would benefit from US copper tariffs but worries that the duties would hurt the global economy, has advised Trump to focus on boosting US copper production. Countries set to be most affected by any new US copper tariff would be Chile, Canada and Mexico, which were the top suppliers to the US of refined copper, copper alloys and copper products in 2024, according to US Census Bureau data. Chile, Canada and Peru -- three of the largest copper suppliers to the US -- have told the administration that imports from their countries do not threaten US interests and should not face tariffs. All three have free trade deals with the US. Mexico's Economy Ministry and Canada's Finance Ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment, while Chile's Foreign Ministry said it had not received any formal communication about the tariffs. Chile's Mining Ministry declined to comment. Chairman Maximo Pacheco of Codelco, the country's top copper miner, told Reuters the company wanted to know which copper products would be included and if the tariff would hit all countries. Pierre Gratton, president of the Mining Association of Canada, said the tariff is concerning for copper smelters such as Glencore's Horne facility in Quebec. Gratton added he was waiting for the 232 report from Trump officials. A 50 percent tariff on copper imports would hit US companies that use the metal because the country is years away from meeting its needs, said Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank. "The US has imported a whole year of demand over the past six months, so the local storage levels are ample," Hansen said.

[Herald Interview] Chairman of Thailand's Amata eyes Korea to create ‘city of tomorrow'
Vikrom Kromadit, founder and chairman of Thailand-based Amata Corp., has placed South Korea at the heart of his vision for the future of Southeast Asia's smart cities. "Korea has shown the world what innovation and determination can achieve in both business and culture," the chairman said during an interview with The Korea Herald at Herald Media Group's office in Seoul on Saturday. 'We are ready to partner with Korean companies and create a bigger future together, step by step. We have the land, the infrastructure and the commitment, and we can build a smart city that reflects Korea's culture, business strength and aspirations.' A vision for global cities, and Korea Established in 1989, Amata has steadily grown into one of Southeast Asia's leading developers and operators of industrial estates, managing more than 11 projects across Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar. The company's developments now cover over 150 square kilometers and host over 1,600 corporate tenants from 33 countries, including global giants such as BASF, BMW, Bosch, Foxconn, Nestle and Toyota. The presence of Korean companies, including Posco Coated Steel in Thailand, which has been in partnership with Amata for over two decades, further demonstrates the potential for stronger business ties between Amata and Korea. 'In the early 1990s, I had the opportunity to meet Daewoo Group founder Kim Woo-choong at his residence in Seoul. He gave me a copy of his autobiography, 'Every Street is Paved with Gold,' and discussed his vision for Korea's future. Now, more than 30 years later, I have witnessed how the diligence and hard work of the Korean people have borne fruit, and I see Korea standing at the center of Asia, poised for even greater opportunities.' The Korean Smart City Zone is envisioned by Amata as a platform for Industry 4.0, supporting high-tech industries by leveraging Korean expertise in smart and sustainable urban development. Since signing a business agreement with Incheon Smart City Corp. in 2017 to create such a model at Amata Nakorn Industrial Estate in Chonburi, Kromadit has visited Seoul multiple times to bring the plan to life. His recent weeklong visit in July was aimed at building new relationships with Korean conglomerates seeking to build facilities in Thailand. The visit was a success for Amata Group, with three of Korea's leading conglomerates showing great interest, according to the chairman. Redefining success through shared wealth Born in 1953 in Kanchanaburi, Thailand, Kromadit grew up as the eldest of 23 siblings in a Hakka Chinese family, naturally facing responsibility and hardship from an early age. His unique upbringing instilled in him a determination to create lasting value for society. 'I believe in a philosophy I call 'all win.' When everyone benefits — whether in business, the environment or community development — there's no reason for conflict. That's how we avoid war and reach mutual prosperity.' After studying mechanical engineering at National Taiwan University, he returned to Thailand and founded V&K Corporation in 1975. In 1988, he launched Bang Pakong Industrial Park, followed by the establishment of Amata City Chonburi in 1989, which became the flagship of Amata Corporation. Amata's estates differ from typical industrial zones in terms of business sustainability. 'We are proud that 99 percent of our tenants thrive. In other words, we don't just provide land — we build communities and serve our clients like family.' As part of the 'all win' philosophy reflected in Amata's commitment to corporate social responsibility, in 1996, Kromadit established the Amata Foundation to support projects in education, the arts and environmental sustainability. In 2023, Kromadit made headlines by pledging 95 percent of his personal wealth — estimated at over 20 billion baht ($615 million) — to the foundation. 'Why did I make such a decision? Because life has given me more than I ever dreamed. I've succeeded not just for myself, but to honor my family, to learn from both my failures and my triumphs, and to make sure others don't repeat the mistakes I made.' His bestselling autobiography, 'Dream 50 Years,' was adapted into a TV drama, highlighting the challenges he overcame and the wisdom he hopes to pass on. 'I believe it was the first drama in Thailand based on a living person's story, but the book is all about mistakes, both mine and others. That's how people learn, and why I shared it,' he said. Despite his accomplishments, Kromadit remains grounded. 'People ask why I'm happy and the answer is simple. I work hard, but I never overthink. I simply share what I've built with the community, because business to me is not just about money, but the foundation for making dreams real.'

Kim Keon Hee probe looks into alleged ties to Sambu stock manipulation case
The special counsel team tasked with investigating multiple allegations concerning former first lady Kim Keon Hee summoned key executives of Eurasia Business Association and Sambu Construction on Tuesday to probe ties between Kim and organizations involved in Ukraine reconstruction projects in 2023. According to the special counsel, a former president of Eurasia Business Association — a Korea-based consulting agency that organized the Ukraine Recovery Conference in 2023 — appeared for questioning on how the conference was planned and whether there was any attempt to orchestrate a stock-price surge at a midsized South Korean construction firm. The investigators also reportedly examined the association and its officials' connections to former Land Minister Won Hee-ryong, former CEO of Black Pearl Invest Lee Jong-ho and other Eurasia Business Association executives. This measure is interpreted as an effort to secure evidence proving the relationships among those involved in one set of allegations against Kim. The allegations center on a surge in Sambu's stock price. Shares skyrocketed within a three-month period amid market rumors that the company was set to take part in Ukraine reconstruction projects in 2023. The stock price surge allowed former and current owners and executives of the company to unload company shares and reap profits worth tens of billions of won. The Sambu case first caught public attention after a message from Lee sparked controversy in July 2024. The company had previously announced it signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation on Ukraine's postwar reconstruction efforts with multiple organizations, including the Eurasia Business Association, in 2022. Though the stock price showed no noticeable change at the time, the Democratic Party of Korea later argued that the company's trading volume and stock price surged after Lee posted a text message saying, 'Check Sambu tomorrow' in a group chat that reportedly involved high-ranking military officials and a former Presidential Security Service official, among others, on May 14, 2023. On May 16, the then-presidential couple visited Ukraine to discuss reconstruction project with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The company gained attention as a Ukraine reconstruction-themed stock and hit the daily price ceiling after the former land minister and major shareholders of Sambu attended the Ukraine Recovery Conference on May 22. Sambu's stock price skyrocketed as the company announced it had signed multiple memorandums of understanding with local Polish governments during the conference and promoted the agreements through press releases. Having stayed below 2,000 won (currently about $1.50) until May, the stock price surged to 5,500 won by July, when Yoon and Kim visited Ukraine again for another summit. The Democratic Party raised suspicions of stock manipulation and suggested that Kim could have been involved, citing her personal ties with Lee, who was suspected of another case of stock price manipulation with Deutsch Motors that the former first lady is also accused of taking part in. The minor opposition Rebuilding Korea Party also questioned how Sambu, which had no experience in overseas business barring a single road construction project in Pakistan in 2021, was able to attend the Ukraine Recovery Conference with the land minister. When Sambu's CEO, former and current owners were previously accused of inflating the stock price in April this year, authorities did not file a complaint with the prosecution against the former first lady and Land Minister Won then, saying they had found no evidence they had done anything criminal. The special counsel team is scheduled to summon Lee Il-jun — chairperson of Sambu Construction, for questioning on Wednesday as it widens investigations in regard to the stock price manipulation case.
