American citizens living on the margins are the actual losers from copper tariffs, as these tariffs will be inflationary and don't address a pressing self-sufficiency problem (unlike rare earths where China controls 90% of processing).

“the losers of this, I would argue, are the American people, at least those that are living on on the margins... we already produce 60% of our our domestic copper needs um here at home. So I don't view this as a pressing problem... this this will be inflationary. So in my view just as a US citizen I view it as a as a misguided policy”
