Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on copper imports into the US. This decision worries India's electronics and semiconductor industries. India relies on imported high-purity copper. The tariff could disrupt India's chip manufacturing efforts.

It remains unclear whether the 50 per cent levy announced last week will be applied to all copper products, stoking anxiety across industries.

Manufacturers and construction companies — as well as consumers — would face higher prices if the U.S. jacks up tariffs on copper, analysts said.

President Trump wants America to produce more of the much-needed mineral, but a 50 percent tariff could undermine his aim of a manufacturing renaissance.

Copper miners remain bullish on the metal's future prospects even as a looming 50% U.S. tariff creates short-term price volatility, Barrick Mining Corp CEO Mark Bristow said in Zambia, where the company is expanding its operations.

Craig Hutchison, TD Cowen base metals equity research analyst, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss which stocks can benefit from Section 232 tariffs, the broader goal of tariffs on copper and much more.
