Codelco awaiting details on possible exemptions for Trump copper tariffs, chairman says

SANTIAGO, July 8 (Reuters) - The world's biggest copper producer, Chile'S state-run Codelco, will wait to see if some countries are exempted from U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports before weighing in on the matter, Codelco Chairman Maximo Pacheco said on Tuesday.

"We have to see whether this will apply to all countries or only some," Pacheco told Reuters, adding that he would also wait to see which copper products might be targeted by the tariff, which has yet to be officially announced.
