Chile will ask U.S. to include copper within broader U.S.-Chile trade talks

SANTIAGO (Reuters) -Chile expects copper tariffs to be discussed within broader U.S. trade talks in Washington this week, Finance Minister Mario Marcel said on Monday in an interview with local radio program Duna.

He added that Chile would ask for any tariffs to be included within a broader trade agreement with the United States. President Trump's administration has said it will impose 50% tariffs on copper imports as of August 1.
