The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating how importing copper affects national security. This investigation, initiated under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, covers all forms of copper, including raw copper, alloys, and scrap. The public is invited to submit comments, data, and other relevant information by April 1, 2025. The department is particularly interested in insights on the copper demand for defense and infrastructure, domestic production capabilities, and the influence of foreign suppliers and trade practices.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce wants to know if bringing copper into the country from other places is good or bad for safety; they are asking people to share their thoughts.
