News of a 50% copper tariff in the United States triggers a wave of copper theft, making copper the "number one emerging theft target" in the US.

This week, the news of the United States planning to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper caused the copper futures prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange to skyrocket. According to foreign media reports, copper has become the top emerging theft target in the United States. From telecommunications stations to railroad cables, from construction sites to freight trucks, any material containing copper has become "fat" in the eyes of criminals. According to the Wall Street Journal, as of the 10th, theft groups have now targeted entire shipments of copper in transit. The increase in cases of copper theft from American truck shipments is even higher than the rise in copper prices.
